7Artisans Hope Prime 10mm/16mm/25mm/35mm/50mm/85mm T2.1 Cine 10mm

★★★★☆ 4.4 (17)

A constant T2.1 aperture across six focal lengths from 10mm to 85mm provides consistent exposure control for APS-C Sony E-mount cameras. The 260-degree ultra-long focus throw with smooth, stepless gearing allows for extremely precise focus pulls when paired with a follow focus system. This manual cine lens set is best for independent filmmakers and videographers needing an affordable, consistent set of primes for narrative or documentary work.
