SLR Magic APO MicroPrime 50mm T2.1 CINE Lens ( PL / EF / E - mount )

The SLR Magic APO MicroPrime 50mm T2.1 is a standard-view cine lens created for digital filmmakers, combining high resolving power with APO optical design to deliver a clean, restrained image style. Whether in backlit, high-contrast scenes or on high-resolution camera bodies, it effectively controls chromatic aberration and glow, keeping edge lines clear without being harsh.
 
In terms of color, the lens offers a natural, slightly cinematic neutral tone: skin tones are soft and pleasing, neither too yellow nor too red; shadows and highlights retain clear gradation and ample latitude for grading. This color profile works well as a standalone set and also makes it easy to match with other cine lenses or multi-camera setups.
 
The T2.1 large aperture keeps images clean even in low light, with flexible depth-of-field control: the in-focus area is clear and three-dimensional, while the background bokeh is smooth and naturally graded, avoiding distracting “nervous” bokeh. It is particularly suitable for portraits, interviews, weddings, music videos, and narrative filmmaking.
 
In overall image character, the SLR Magic APO MicroPrime 50mm T2.1 is not a cold, purely “technical sharpness” lens; it balances detail with atmosphere. It offers sufficient resolving power for 4K/6K workflows while maintaining a gentle, cinematic feel, ensuring images remain appealing on the big screen or high-end monitors. If you are looking for a 50mm cine lens that strikes an ideal balance between image quality, color, and character, this lens is a core focal length you can trust to put on your camera.
