7Artisans Hope Series 25mm T2.1 25mm
A 260° focus throw and well-suppressed breathing effect provide precise manual focus control for S35 cine capture, while the T2.1 aperture ensures ample light intake. Multi-layer nano-coating and a 15-element design deliver vivid, flare-resistant images, supported by a 700g all-metal build that accepts 82mm filters for budget-conscious rigs. It’s ideal for indie filmmakers using Canon RF-S cameras like the C70 or R7 who need tactile focus pulling and a cinematic look.
