While full-frame formats have real advantages, the humble Super 35mm format (basically APS-C in the photography world) has staying power with cinematographers. Overall lower cost and more compact equipment – particularly when it comes to lenses – is certainly part of the appeal. But creative needs (like a more extensive depth of field) often drive the use of Super 35 format, and let’s not forget that countless Hollywood films from the past several decades were shot on Super 35, so our eyes are used to seeing movies produced with this type of gear. For many moviegoers, it’s comfort food for the eyes.
That’s why the SIGMA Cine 18-35mm T2 and 50-100mm T2 High Speed Zoom lenses are a great choice for all levels of Super 35 production. With this two-lens combo, filmmakers can shoot at a huge variety of focal lengths, all at a steady maximum T2 for low-light situations. Not only that, but these lenses are designed to cleanly resolve up to 8K resolution, while minimizing flare and ghosting, making post-production an easier process.
SIGMA introduced these two extremely versatile lenses back in 2016, but they have lost none of their punch in the time since. If you’re a filmmaker and you haven’t taken a good look at the SIGMA Cine 18-35mm T2 and 50-100mm T2, learn more about them from our friends at Timberwolf Films in the below videos.
