Canon 135mm Sumire Prime T2.2 Lens

The Canon 135mm Sumire Prime T2.2 is a manual focus prime lens designed to cover full frame and Super35 sensor formats. With a PL mount and focus scales marked in feet, it offers a maximum T-stop of 2.2 and an 11-blade iris for natural-looking, round out-of-focus highlights. It has a 300° smooth rotation from close focus to infinity, giving you a high degree of precision and consistent focus. This lens is designed to create pleasing facial close-ups across all ages, genders, and ethnicities, and the effect is increased as the lens approaches its widest aperture.

Focus Breathing Suppression

The lens is designed to minimize focus breathing, providing image stability even when bokeh effects occur when refocusing.

Nuanced Look

The Sumire Prime Lens series features a nuanced look as the lens aperture approaches its maximum setting.

This subtly modifies the textural renderings of the human facial close-up and a pleasing bokeh.

Artistically Pleasing Image Rendering

The lens features a large-diameter aspheric lens and anomalous dispersion glass, for high-resolution image reproduction from image center to image edge.

The lens produces warm colour tones that help to softly capture facial expressions, and it shares a unified colour balance with other Canon Cinema lenses.

Soft, Natural Bokeh Effects

The 11-blade clickless iris produces artistic and beautiful out-of-focus areas, creating a more three-dimensional bokeh.

The use of an odd number of blades helps reduce flaring of specular highlights.

Consistent Torque

The focus and iris rings are designed to maintain a consistent amount of resistance and operating torque in order to help provide the camera operator or assistant with predictable lens operation.

Unified Features

The Sumire Prime Lens series features a unified front diameter (114mm), rotation angle (300°), and gear position on the focus and iris rings.

Front Filter Thread

All lenses in the series except the 14mm accept a 105mm diameter threaded filter in the front of the lens.

Phosphorescent Focus Marks

Lens markings are displayed on both sides of the lens.

To improve visibility in dim light conditions, indicator markings with phosphorescent paint have been adopted for the front barrel for right-side viewing.
