The Canon Sumire Prime 20mm T1.5 Cinema Lens is a wide-angle cine lens designed for full-frame cinema production, delivering a distinctive, expressive image with a cinematic aesthetic. As part of the Sumire Prime series, this lens is engineered to provide a softer, more organic rendering, making it ideal for narrative storytelling and high-end commercial work.

With its versatile 20mm focal length, the lens offers a wide field of view that captures immersive environments while maintaining natural perspective, making it well-suited for handheld cinematography, interior scenes, and dynamic compositions. The ultra-fast T1.5 aperture provides excellent low-light performance and shallow depth of field, allowing cinematographers to create striking visuals with smooth background separation.

The Sumire optical design emphasizes gentle highlight roll-off, natural skin tone reproduction, and subtle contrast, resulting in a more emotional and cinematic image. The 11-blade iris contributes to smooth, pleasing bokeh, enhancing the overall visual character of the lens.

Designed for professional cinema workflows, the lens features an ARRI PL mount for compatibility with industry-standard cinema cameras, along with a long focus rotation for precise manual focus control. Standardized gear positioning and a consistent front diameter ensure seamless integration with follow focus systems and matte boxes.

Ideal for feature films, commercials, documentaries, and creative storytelling, the Canon Sumire Prime 20mm T1.5 lens offers a perfect balance of optical performance, artistic character, and professional reliability.
