Reviews
After a lot of research into what would be a good starter set of cinema lenses for my Canon R5, I landed on the SLR Magic APO Cine Lens Set. We used them on a recent project and were blown away by the quality, their unique characteristics and rendering of the image. Would highly recommend to anyone on a budget that wants to get into cinema glass, specifically those looking for something with an EF mount.
