45.1 Budget Score
21-110mmf/22Canon EF
Why we recommend this

This six-lens set provides full-frame coverage with a fast T2.4 maximum aperture and consistent 80mm front diameters for rapid accessory changes. The optical coatings are tuned for a smooth, vintage look with 11-blade irises, avoiding an overly clinical modern rendering. This kit is best for independent filmmakers and small crews seeking a cohesive set of compact, manual cine primes with a classic character on a budget.
