7Artisans Hope Series 25mm T2.1 25mm
Its T2.1 aperture combined with a 260° focus throw delivers precise low-light control and nearly imperceptible focus breathing for clean 4K footage. The 15-element optical formula with multi-layer nano-coating produces vivid, detailed images and smooth out-of-focus roll-off, housed in a robust geared cine-style body. This lens suits Fuji X-mount narrative filmmakers and documentary shooters who need tactile manual focus and consistent cinematic texture on set.
