The Canon Sumire Prime CN-E 24mm T1.5 is a professional cinema prime lens engineered to deliver expressive, character-driven imagery for narrative, commercial, and documentary filmmaking. Covering full-frame and Super 35 sensors, it provides high-resolution performance suitable for 4K production while maintaining a distinctive optical signature designed to flatter human subjects. The fast T1.5 aperture enables exceptional low-light capability and shallow depth of field, enhancing subject separation and cinematic mood. As the lens opens toward its widest setting, subtle modifications to texture and contrast create a pleasing softness that benefits facial close-ups without sacrificing overall clarity. Advanced optical construction includes large-diameter aspherical elements and anomalous dispersion glass to maintain sharpness across the frame while controlling aberrations. Color reproduction is intentionally warm and consistent with other Canon Cinema lenses, simplifying color matching on set. An 11-blade clickless iris generates smooth, natural-looking bokeh and minimizes harsh highlight edges. Focus breathing is carefully controlled, ensuring stable framing during focus pulls. A long 300-degree focus rotation delivers precise manual focus control, while dual-sided focus markings, including phosphorescent indicators, improve usability in low-light conditions. Standardized 114mm front diameter, consistent gear positions, and uniform rotation across the Sumire series allow rapid lens changes on professional rigs. Built for reliability and creative control, the Sumire 24mm T1.5 offers a refined cinematic look with mechanical precision trusted by demanding productions.Manufacturer Items Include:Canon 24mm Sumire Prime T1.5 (PL Mount, Feet)Front Lens CapRear Lens CapBundle Items Include:Canon 24mm Sumire Prime T1.5 (PL Mount, Feet)Camera BagCleaning Kit
