Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Benjamin ★★★★★

Shot wide open at T1.9, the sharpness and falloff into bokeh on this 40mm is just gorgeous for narrative work. The PL mount locks in solidly and the focus ring has a nice, dampened resistance that makes pulling focus a breeze.

James ★★★★★

I was a bit worried about the weight, but it balances beautifully on my gimbal, even with the follow focus attached. The T1.9 aperture gives a really pleasing depth-of-field falloff wide open.

Zoe E. ★★★★★

The PL mount locks in solid with zero play, which makes swapping between takes feel effortless. At T1.9 the focus throw is smooth and precise, and the image stays crisp even wide open.
