T1.5 – Bright and precise
The large T1.5 aperture lets plenty of light onto the sensor, enabling reliable exposure even in low-light conditions. The stepless aperture control ensures smooth and consistent exposure adjustments – ideal for professional video recording.
153° focus throw for precise focus control
The extra-long 153° focus throw allows for exceptionally precise manual focusing. The integrated gear ring on the focus ring is compatible with common follow-focus systems and facilitates controlled focus shifts during recording.
Smooth Bokeh with a Cinematic Effect
The large T1.5 aperture produces a shallow depth of field and a smooth, natural bokeh. This effectively separates the subject from the background, creating a striking, cinematic aesthetic.
High-Quality Optical Construction
The lens utilizes ED low-dispersion glass elements and high-refractive-index lenses to effectively correct various aberrations and chromatic aberrations.
The front element features a multi-layered, high-transparency nano-coating and a water- and dirt-repellent coating. This enhances image clarity and provides superior protection for the front element against external elements.
Minimal Focus Breathing
The optical design minimizes focus breathing during focus shifts. This ensures the image remains as stable as possible during controlled focus changes—a crucial advantage for professional video and film production.
Lens changes in just seconds
Thanks to the consistent design of the Viltrox M4/3 Cine series, lenses can be changed quickly. When used on a gimbal, accessories and balance require less complex adjustments – ideal for efficient production workflows.
Internal focusing
The internal focusing system allows for a compact and stable design. The lens's external length doesn't change significantly during focusing, which is especially convenient when used with gimbals and other video accessories.
Consistent design across the entire Cine series
Viltrox M4/3 Cine lenses are designed for a consistent workflow. Identical dimensions, ring positions, and compatible accessory interfaces enable quick lens changes without having to reconfigure the entire setup.
Professional workmanship and thoughtful design
The combination of precise mechanical control, a fast T1.5 aperture, and high-quality optical construction makes the Viltrox MF 23mm T1.5 cine lens a versatile solution for film productions, interviews, documentaries, short films, and creative video recordings.
