The Canon Sumire Prime 135mm T2.2 Cinema Lens is a high-performance telephoto cine lens designed for full-frame cinema production, delivering a distinctive cinematic look with natural rendering and expressive character. As part of Canon’s Sumire Prime series, this lens is engineered to produce a softer, more organic image with smooth tonal transitions and refined highlight roll-off.
With its 135mm focal length, the lens offers a compressed telephoto perspective that is ideal for dramatic close-ups, portrait-style shots, and isolating subjects from the background. The T2.2 aperture provides strong low-light performance and refined depth of field control, enabling smooth background separation and cinematic visual depth.
The Sumire optical design emphasizes gentle contrast and beautifully rendered bokeh, enhanced by an 11-blade iris that produces soft, rounded highlights. This results in natural skin tones and a more emotional, filmic image quality suited to high-end storytelling.
Designed for professional cinema workflows, the lens features an ARRI PL mount for compatibility with industry-standard cinema cameras. Its long focus rotation allows for precise manual focus control, while standardized gear placement and a consistent front diameter ensure seamless integration with follow focus systems and matte boxes.
Ideal for feature films, commercials, documentaries, and creative productions, the Canon Sumire Prime 135mm T2.2 lens offers exceptional telephoto performance, artistic character, and professional reliability.
