Cinema lenses are the eyes of the movie camera. They capture the world in a way that’s both beautiful and true. They’re the tools that filmmakers use to tell their stories, to create their art.

A cinema lens is different from a stills lens in many ways. It’s designed to be used in motion picture production, where it needs to be able to handle the rigors of a film set. It needs to be able to focus smoothly and accurately, to zoom without losing focus, and to maintain a consistent aperture throughout the zoom range.

In the hands of a skilled filmmaker, a cinema lens can do more than just capture images. It can create mood and atmosphere, it can convey emotion and meaning. It can transport us to other worlds and other times, it can make us laugh or cry or feel something we’ve never felt before.

Cinema lenses are designed to be used in motion picture production, where they need to be able to handle the rigors of a film set. They’re built to be durable and reliable, with all-mechanical lens rings that control the focus and aperture, and zoom1. Cine lenses have a large focus rotation angle, more than double most DSLR lenses, for better control. They’re made to work with follow focus rigs, so most have a 0.8M standard-sized gear pitch on the focus, zoom, and iris rings.

One of the most popular brands of cinema lenses is Canon. Their Sumire Prime Seven prime lenses offer fast apertures and precise manual control with a crafted focus bokeh aimed at careful creative expression2.

In conclusion, cinema lenses are built to be durable and reliable with all-mechanical lens rings that control the focus and aperture, and zoom. They have a large focus rotation angle for better control and are made to work with follow focus rigs. Canon is one of the most popular brands of cinema lenses.

Cinema lenses come in different mounts such as PL mount, EF mount, and LPL mount. The PL mount is the most common mount for cinema lenses. It’s a standard mount that’s been around for decades and is used by most professional cinema cameras. The EF mount is another popular mount for cinema lenses. It’s used by Canon cameras and is compatible with a wide range of lenses. The LPL mount is specifically designed for large format and/or full frame lenses with an LPL (Large Positive Lock) mount.
