Prime - Spherical - Full Frame

product details

Canon’s Sumire Prime series is made up of seven full-frame PL-mount cinema lenses that offer a unique artistically pleasing look with gentle and beautiful skin tones and smooth bokeh. Designed for use with large-sensor cinema cameras, including 35mm full-frame cameras, Sumire primes deliver a gently expressive “modern-classic” look while maintaining contemporary reliability and mechanics. Flattering for faces, they add character without sacrificing consistency. Characterized by softer, warmer rendering at wide apertures that tightens when stopped down, subtly modifying the textural renderings of the human face close-up. Sumires sit between vintage-inspired glass and more clinical, modern primes. The core set spans 14mm T3.1, 20mm T1.5, 24mm T1.5, 35mm T1.5, 50mm T1.3, 85mm T1.3, and 135mm T2.2. Available for rental or subrental at Cine Visuals.

Image Performance

Handling & Adaptability

The inclusion of a single aspheric optical element makes it visually compatible with both the multi-aspheric Leica Summilux-C and the spherical Leica Summicron-C primes. With nine lenses in six groups and apochromatic correction, outstanding resolution and contrast can be achieved all the way to the edge of the frame.
