7Artisans 16mm T2.1 Hope Series Professional Cine 16mm
The 16mm T2.1 wide-angle cine prime captures T2.1 light with a 260° focus throw and suppressed breathing, enabling precise manual control on S35 sensors. Its newly designed optics and coatings render vivid, filmic texture with smooth falloff, all within a solid 998g housing that feels purpose-built for rigs. This lens suits budget-conscious filmmakers on Canon RF-mount cameras like the RED Komodo or C70 who need a wide, characterful lens for narrative shoots.
