SLR Magic PVSG 50mm T/2.1 APO-MicroPrime Cine Lens for EF Mount (Demo)

APO-MicroPrime Cine 85mm T2.1 Lens

SLR Magic took all the optical goodness from their flagship range of APO Primes and implemented them into this EF range. So, behold, APO Primes in a MicroPrime form factor.

SLR Magic now offers the APO MicroPrime lens family in EF mount:

• APO-MicroPrime CINE 25mm T2.1
• APO-MicroPrime CINE 32mm T2.1
• APO-MicroPrime CINE 50mm T2.1
• APO-MicroPrime CINE 85mm T2.1

These lenses achieve outstanding images under challenging lighting conditions. When taking pictures with many image-dominant, open light sources, it is common for correction defects to show up. The apochromatic (APO) lens, longitudinal chromatic aberrations are corrected by its unique optical design and special selection of optical elements. The colour defects are therefore significantly lower than the defined limits. Bright/dark transitions in the image, and especially highlights, are rendered with no colourful artifacts.

Thanks to the low level of longitudinal chromatic aberration, there are no visible aberrations. So an illuminated portrait scene by night with many light sources in front of and behind the actual focal plane appears close to reality, without displaying complementary, color contrast edges. The excellent performance delivered by the SLR Magic APO-MicroPrime CINE lenses are consistent for all shooting distances. Its high performance with an open aperture also makes this lens a good choice for close-ups or portraits. The SLR Magic APO-MicroPrime CINE lenses take full advantage of modern high-resolution camera sensors up to 8K as well as support for a full frame image circle up to 46mm, resulting in impressive resolution in the images, even for the finest detail.

The lens has a completely new optical and mechanical design, which was developed taking into account the special and increasing requirements of high-resolution cameras. The smaller footprint is designed to optimise more practical shooting styles, lower the payload, facilitate speed of use, storage and portability, without compromising professional standards and requirements. Each lens will only weigh approximately 900g and sport a 150 degree focus throw so you can still perform fine focus adjustments and yet execute focus pulls by hand. The overall size reduction gives us a 85mm outer front but still utilising the 82mm thread inside.

As a continued dedication to anamorphic lenses, some of the lenses in the APO-MicroPrime CINE lens family would be compatible with the SLR Magic Anamorphot adapter. SLR Magic is super excited to finally provide their APOs in a new form factor and a mount that has been highly requested from all our fans, friends, users and customers of SLR Magic.
