The Canon Sumire Prime 85mm T1.3 Cinema Lens is a premium 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 85mm focal length, the lens provides a flattering telephoto perspective that is ideal for portraiture, interviews, and cinematic close-ups. The ultra-fast T1.3 aperture enables exceptional low-light performance and extremely shallow depth of field, allowing filmmakers to achieve dramatic subject isolation and beautifully rendered backgrounds.
The Sumire optical design emphasizes smooth, natural bokeh and gentle contrast, with an 11-blade iris that produces rounded highlights and pleasing background separation. This enhances skin tones and adds emotional depth to each shot, making it particularly well-suited for character-driven 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 high-end productions, the Canon Sumire Prime 85mm T1.3 lens offers exceptional optical performance, artistic expression, and reliability for demanding cinematic applications.
