The “Golden Balance Point” Between
Professionals and Small to Mid-Sized Teams
SLR Magic MicroPrime CNIE Series
In an era of tight budgets but uncompromising standards, the SLR Magic MicroPrime series was created for exactly this purpose. It is SLR Magic’s core, most focal-length-complete cinema lens system, designed for all kinds of creators - from independent filmmakers, wedding teams, YouTubers and online creators, to professional commercial and drama productions - offering an “all‑round workhorse lens set” that balances image quality, handling, and price-performance.
The MicroPrime series currently supports four major mount systems:
● Sony Full Frame E-mount (Full Frame)
● Sony APS-C E-mount
● Fujifilm X-mount
● Micro Four Thirds (M4/3)
Whether you’re using a full-frame cinema camera, a mirrorless body, or a lightweight M4/3 system, MicroPrime brings a consistent, nuanced, cinematic look to your images, making it an ideal starting point and long-term mainstay for building out a complete lens set.

True cinema lens specs with an accessible entry point
Designed according to cinema lens standards: it features a long-throw manual focus, smooth and refined damping, and a precise, easy-to-read distance scale, allowing both dedicated focus pullers and solo operators to maintain full control with ease.
With a 150° focus rotation angle, 0.8 mod gear, internal focusing structure, and a design that keeps the lens length constant during focusing, it offers creators higher control precision and consistent imagery. The lens uses an anti-rotation design, making it easy to use with lens hoods and various accessories, ensuring an uninterrupted and fluid shooting workflow.
While keeping the price reasonable, this lens is built for independent creators and small to mid-sized production teams, bringing the professional experience once found only in high-end cinema lenses into more accessible production environments.
Wide focal length coverage with a complete, expandable system
MicroPrime is SLR Magic’s most comprehensive core series in terms of focal length coverage, allowing you to build out a full set from wide-angle to medium telephoto.
Users of different camera types can flexibly choose focal length combinations based on shooting needs—for example, standard focal sets for narrative films, or wider and medium-telephoto options for weddings and events. The unified lens design ensures that when you expand into additional focal lengths later, your look and handling remain consistent.
Tuned to balance professional work with small to mid-sized teams
Its optical performance fully supports 4K resolution, making it suitable for all kinds of professional productions such as commercials, music videos, narrative films, and documentaries. The lens is well-controlled in both size and weight, making it ideal for one-person operations, wedding videography, event coverage, use with gimbals, and various on-location shooting scenarios.
Strikes the ideal balance between sharpness and cinematic feel:
MicroPrime aims for clear detail without being overly sharp, avoiding the harsh, excessively “digital” look that can make skin tones appear unflattering. In terms of color, skin tones look natural with very low color cast. The in-focus areas are crisp, the out-of-focus areas are soft, and the bokeh transitions are smooth and delicate—very suitable for visual content intended for long viewing periods.
Multi-mount support: one visual style across multiple cameras
● Sony Full Frame E-mount: ideal for Cinema Line, A7 series and other full-frame users, maximizing field of view and depth-of-field control.
● Sony APS-C E-mount: a high value cinema lens option for vloggers, short-form creators, and entry-level cinema cameras.
● Fujifilm X-mount: pairs with Fujifilm’s renowned color science to create a distinctive cinematic look.
● Micro Four Thirds: particularly suited to GH series, BMPCC and other M4/3 cameras, forming a lightweight cinema platform.
The same MicroPrime visual signature can be carried across different camera and systems, ensuring a stable, consistent look for multi-cam teams or individual multi-camera setups.
