- E Mount Cine Lens | SLR MAGIC MICROPRIME CINE 35MM | REVIEW
SLR Magic released a cinema-grade version of their e mount prime lens series called the MicroPrime Cine lenses, which have a new lens coating and lens group construction. This, the 35mm T1.3, has got to be my favorite of the bunch.
UPDATE: a few corrections... the iris has 7 blades, and these lenses can’t fit on the Sony F5/55. Cheers!

great review! I'll be picking up mine soon! Thanks man!
Duuude, you have such an awesome eye for composition. even the color grade was on point man.
Thanks a lot, man! Definitely appreciate the love on the video.
Have you seen the Sirui anamorphic review? Just posted it!
@@imnickfriend Dont know if it means anything much to you but i actually went back to this video again and casted your video specifically on my 4k TV after watching on my cellphone just to really appreciate the artistry in those shots. You also gave me a reason to buy this lens showcasing whats possible and beyond and my 35 is on its way as we speak. I will watch you new video for sure after all my office meetings end for the day and leave a comment for you there if that helps.
Loved the review!
THANKS!
I personally use the 50mm T1.2 MicroPrime for most of my work. In case I need wider I also have the 18mm T2.8 MicroPrime. These two have the flaring and bokeh I wanted.
Tell me more about the 18mm! I need a good ultrawide cine lens.
Totally getting one
Dope AF presentation bro! Also what track is that in the background? Keep doing your thing.
I have nooooo idea that was so long ago haha
Are you from Chattanooga? That looks like the bridge at Coolidge Park. Really have my eyes on these lenses for my Fujifilm XT3, just waiting on more reviews. Thanks for making this!
Yeah man. Living there for now. That bridge is a favorite spot of mine to shoot
i have the 25mm and 75mm, i'd say it reacts great to flares, the softness works great with skintones under good lighting or outdoors. Totally not usable for ambient indoor lighting though.
No, the coatings pick up too much of that blooming that happened from ambient light. Totally agree
I typically don't shoot faster than 2.8 which seems to stop the issue
@@imnickfriend could SLR Magic CINE 35mm F1.2 lens be used in a party or wedding ? Maybe aet the foxus to infinity would be the solution ?
It has a 13-blade aperture! Wish the microprimes were a bit sharper, but that image is very pleasing.
Yo! Great work. Love the colour more than anything. Would you be willing to share you're log setting / LUT details???? hehe. I'd love to use this for my next shoot. A million thanks.
I'd love to share one but I don't use LUTs for my UA-cam videos. Sorry mate!
@@imnickfriend just using the colour wheels in Premiere eh? Love it man.
Returning my SLR Magic 50mm Microprime 1.2 for Fuji. Very noise focus ring and now it's become wobbly. From what I hear, the quality control is sub par so you got lucky.
Damn. Sorry to hear that. The focus ring is a bit noisy, I've noticed. Only on faster focus pulls, but noisier than expected. LMK about how the Fuji turns out!
Nice quick review, thanks !
Would you still recommend this lens today in this budget range ?
Yes, definitely
@@imnickfriend nice! in the price range I didn't find anything that beat this lens so I already got a copy from BH haha. it's pretty nice.
I am though getting plenty of funky flaring and I wonder if it's my tiffen VND or the actual lens.
awesome video... I love the look of these lenses. Looking to get a few for my Sony a6400. I have a question... what's the difference between their e mount cine and micro prime cine for e mount?? Why f2.8 as opposed to t2.8? Are both versions "equivalent" focal lengths for a6xxx series cameras? Thanks for the great work and the information. Peace....
So, T stops and f-stops are measured in different ways. An f-stop is measured by the amount of light that can be let in to a lens, and a T stop is the amount of light that can be let out of the lens. T stops are much more universal measurements, which is why you see them on cinema lenses, So when you switch from a T2.8 Canon to a T2.8 SLR magic then they’re both going to have the same amount of light value coming out of the back of the lens. The same cannot be said with two f/2.8 lenses. Additionally the Cine version of these lenses have a little bit more of a high-quality coating to some of the lens elements, giving it a slightly cleaner look. But you still get that quintessential SLR magic look to your videos.
@@imnickfriend thanks so much for the response. Much appreciated.
Beautiful stuff man
Thanks man! Going for equal parts Pete McKinnon and Philip Bloom.
@@imnickfriend do you have any other channels? You mustn't post here very often, couldn't even remember subbing to you, no doubt I did though
I was posting weekly but took some time off. Had a few major projects come up that took every ounce of my time. I’m BACK now!
0:55 can you fix focus breathing in post by punching in on the footage? Assuming you don't mind loosing a bit of resolution
Also do you stabilize your videos with anything or just go hand held?
I wouldn’t recommend punching in to fix the breathing. The breathing effects the actual optics, so using the digital punch in will give a little too much difference from one shot to another.
Great review and I'm thinking about buying it but i have a question. I'm looking at either the 25mm or the 35mm and can't find information on the minimum focus for them. Can you tell me what it is? Thanks!
I’m not sure, actually. I didn’t really do proper testing on it. But I did get some shots where I walked into focus and that was the closest focus I could get (I think. Not 100% sure). I’d say it’s around a foot and a half, but I’m not sure.
@@imnickfriend Thanks!
Hello, I would like to ask, I am currently hesitant to choose Sigma's 35mmF1.2 or this lens. Because to me the purple fringing and dispersion of the object would be more important. Does this lens have better purple fringing and dispersion control than Sigma?
I think the sigma is cleaner
sir, anybody tell me review of SLR MAGIC MICROPRIME CINE 35MM T1.3 SONY E-MOUNT
Thanks for this video. Where did you find it at 599? It seems to be more like a thousand euro
I got it on eBay.
This lens compatible with Sony fs 700
could SLR Magic CINE 35mm F1.2 lens be used in a party or wedding ? Maybe set the foxus to infinity would be the solution ?
you could but it would be tricky.
So what is the difference between this lens and the SLR Magic Cine 35mm f1.2 FE (aside from aperture)? They are both marketed as “cine” lenses and that confuses me.
I just purchased a higher end Sony camera and have primarily shot with Canon (I also own a C100) since getting into cinematography nearly a decade ago and am needing Sony compatible lenses. Just wanted a recommendation on which of the two I should consider. I have both in my B&H cart as we speak lol
The construction and there’s a slightly higher quality coating.
FriendFilms Do you think the higher quality coating makes that big a difference in image quality though?
has anyone compared SLR CINE and microprimes?
could you please explain why to you it made sense, buying a full manual e-mount lens when you could just as easily have adapted almost any other lens to that? i mean ef-mount lenses wouldn't make any difference (or would they) except you could also use them on much more camera systems. i think that is one of the most genius things about e-mount: the flange distance allows to adapt almost anything...
thanks for the review though!
Yea, happy to explain why. It’s simple. I wanted it. And it is smaller than any EF version. Also I just wanted it.
Hey Nick:) Do you still use this lens? How do you like it? Do you have any other focal lengths from this set?
I don’t use this lens anymore because the manual focus is too slow for my workflow but it’s a delightful piece of kit.
Never used others from the set though
Does 12mm and 25mm have the same sensor size coverage? I bought to of those lens and using on my MFT sensor and the 25mm looks like 50mm and it's perfect but the 12mm looks way wider than 14mm. Is it just the way it feels or is it actuary wider? If anybody can answer, please comment on this.
With MFT, you're basically getting a 2x crop on your lenses. the SLRMagic lenses are labeled with their full-frame equivalencies, so if you have a 25, it should look like a 50 and if you have a 12, it should look like a 24. Lens manufacturer focal length's vary from company to company, but the differences won't be THAT much.
@@imnickfriend Thanks a lot!
@FriendFilms ..and to anyone else who can answer... I'm new to cine lenses. Why are hard stops on the focus ring something desired?
It’s a helpful way to know when you’re at infinity or close focus.
@@imnickfriend Thanks! I get how lacking a hard stop, you could turn and turn the focus ring never knowing the end... but there appears to be a very discernible click on the hard stops for this lens. Is that "normal" or desired?
How do you find the image quality?
I like that it's not absolutely perfect. there's little characteristics in the bokeh and the breathing and the slightly warm color shift. I like it a lot.
Is this a native anamorphic scale output ?
It’s a spherical lens, not anamorphic
Is it sharp? how about chromatic aberration?
it's sharp in the center but there's a lot of falloff toward the edges, BUT if you use that as a conscious factor, you can make it work in your favor.
Would you say that a follow focus would be required to use this lens?
Absolutely not. that’s a really great feature on these lenses. The focus throw is long enough to be precise, but short enough to go handheld.
@@imnickfriend Thanks! I was worried that the focus would constantly need to be messed around with constantly due to focus breathing etc
he didn't say that..
@@ahmedhashmi3584 you seem to have no idea what focus breathing is..
@@_rhapsodist I would appreciate an explanation as I'm still a bit new to filmmaking
Can you swap the mounts?
No and that’s SUPER frustrating for me.
@@imnickfriend it is very disappointing, we need to keep on hassling SLR Magic to make this happen!
So this lens wouldn’t be good indoors?
No, it’d be a delight inside. Super fast.
The whole point of using cine lenses is that they have no breathing etc. One of the reasons they cost a premium, so as always, you get what you pay for it.
I'd say that ONE of the reasons to get SOME cine lenses is to have no breathing. However, the characteristics can provide a unique feel that may be appropriate for the type of shot the shooter is shooting for... it's all a matter of taste, style, and need.
Breathing and and and. No thanks
