Lens maker SLR Magic is exhibiting a new lineup of cinema lenses at NAB 2018 this year. The new MicroPrime CINE lenses are designed for the Sony E-Mount, and there are five of them in all. The first four-a 25mm T1.5, 35mm T1.3, 50mm T1.2, and 75mm T1.5-will all be released in May, and a fifth 18mm T2.9 will be ready `by Q3 2018.`
According to SLR Magic, the MicroPrime lenses are designed with an image circle large enough to cover full-frame sensors, a similar weight distribution across the lineup for easy lens swapping when using a gimbal, and an internal focusing mechanism. The company also says the focus gears were designed with `a throw slightly longer than photographic lenses but still manageable when a motorized follow focus is not used.`
The image below shows a basic set of specs for all five of the MicroPrime CINE lenses, although there is one mistake in the table: the lineup features an 82mm filter thread across all five lenses, not 77mm as the image below shows.
