About the Product

The lens construction includes 22 elements in 17 groups, featuring a number of ED and Super ED elements to ensure minimal color fringing and high optical resolution across the zoom range.

Faqs:

What kind of bokeh quality can I expect from this T2.9 lens?

The constant T2.9 aperture, combined with a 9-blade circular iris, produces smooth, aesthetically pleasing background blur (bokeh) that is characteristic of cinema lenses. The telephoto focal length further enhances subject separation and background compression, giving your footage a professional, shallow-depth-of-field look.

How is the focus control different from a normal photo lens?

Unlike a photo lens designed for quick AF, this cinema lens has a 200-degree focus rotation angle and geared rings. This design allows for much finer and more precise manual focus adjustments over a large physical turn, which is essential for accurate focus pulling during video takes.

Can I use this lens for handheld shooting while walking?

At its weight of 1,100 grams and its telephoto focal length, handheld shooting will be challenging for long periods. It is highly recommended to use the included tripod mount or a video rig (such as a monopod or shoulder rig) to ensure stable, high-quality cinematic shots.

What does the macro operation mode at the wide end mean?

The normal minimum focusing distance is 1.2 meters. However, the lens has a hidden macro mode that can be activated to allow focusing as close as 0.85 meter at the wide (50mm) end. This provides excellent flexibility for capturing detailed, close-up shots when needed.

If I rent both the 18-55mm and 50-135mm MKX lenses, will they match?

Yes, these two lenses are designed as a matching pair. They both feature the same T2.9 constant aperture, the same filter size (82mm), and share identical 0.8 module gear pitches and lens barrel lengths, ensuring a seamless and consistent workflow when switching between the two on a video rig.
