Cinema lenses, also known as movie lenses or cine lenses, are specialized lenses designed specifically for use in filmmaking and cinematography. These lenses differ from typical photographic lenses in several key ways: Optical Quality: Cinema lenses are designed to provide exceptional optical quality suitable for high-resolution video capture, ensuring sharpness, clarity, and minimal distortion across the frame. Mechanical Construction: Cinema lenses are typically built with durable, robust construction to withstand the rigors of professional filmmaking environments. They often feature precise manual focusing and aperture control mechanisms, as well as standardized gear rings for compatibility with follow focus systems and lens control motors. Consistent Characteristics: Cinema lenses are engineered to maintain consistent optical and mechanical characteristics across different focal lengths within a lens series. This consistency allows filmmakers to switch lenses without noticeable changes in image quality or lens handling. T-Stop Scale: Unlike photographic lenses that use the f-stop scale to indicate aperture size, cinema lenses often use the T-stop scale (Transmission stop) to measure light transmission accurately. This ensures consistent exposure settings when changing lenses. Focus Throw: Cinema lenses typically have a longer focus throw compared to photographic lenses. This allows for precise manual focusing, essential for achieving critical focus in filmmaking. Lens Mount Compatibility: Cinema lenses are available in various lens mounts to accommodate different camera systems, such as PL mount, EF mount, or Sony E-mount. Some cinema lenses also feature interchangeable mounts for versatility. Cinema lenses are favored by professional filmmakers for their superior optical performance, robust build quality, and compatibility with cinema camera systems. They are commonly used in feature films, television production, commercials, documentaries, and other professional video projects.
