    35mm · f/1.4

    Overview

    The SLR Magic 35mm T/1.4 Cine II offers good value for its speed and focal length, with reasonably sharp wide-open performance and gentle out-of-focus blur. Its T-rating and geared rings suit serious videography, while the well-dampened, easy-to-grip rings also benefit stills. However, optical weaknesses are not highlighted in the excerpts. The lens suits budget-conscious videographers and photographers seeking a fast, manual-focus prime with cine features.
