SIRUI 28-85mm T3.2 Full-Frame Parfocal Zoom Cine Lens (EF Mount)

Fantastic lens. It captures beautiful images, has excellent build quality, smooth focus, zoom, and aperture rings, and was packaged even better than an Apple product. It is a heavy lens, so make sure you have a decent lens support.

We rented this lens for a feature last summer to be paired with the Mars Anamorphic set, I loved it, and when I saw the recent price drop, I pounced. $1064 for this lens feels like I did something illegal.It's big, heavy, and built like a tank. The lens itself is extremely impressive - it looks and feels like a piece of art itself - and the images are fantastic (dare I say instantly cinematic?) - crisp but not with that digital sharpness, and just enough character.The zoom, focus and iris are silky smooth, the focal range covers just about everything I need, and the T3.2 becomes T2.2, with a speedbooster, which is pretty insane for a parfocal cine zoom. Even the case is impressive.I expect to be using this lens, along with the Mars set, for years to come. Great job, Sirui!

I've shot with all types of lenses for the last 20 years. Arri, Zeiss, Angenieux, Cooke, etc. I put together a small kit for myself so I wouldn't have to keep renting for smaller jobs. Ended up going with the Sirui Saturn Primes and this zoom. Can't tell you how happy I am with the purchase. It produces great images and has all the ergonomics and feel of its more expensive predecessors.
