Overview

The Schneider 125 mm f/2 Xenon is a cine-style lens designed for full-frame sensors, with a T2.1 aperture and 300-degree focus rotation. It offers near-zero breathing and solid build quality. Optically, it produces great images but is less contrasty and flares more than the Cine-Xenar III series, which also provide higher resolving power across S35. The lens has 14 iris blades for smooth bokeh. It suits filmmakers seeking a lightweight, compact full-frame prime with consistent handling across the set.
