Cine lenses can be prohibitively expensive to own, one of the reasons for a lively rental market. The last few years have seen the beginnings of change, though, with a number of manufacturers producing cine glass at reasonable costs, at least for the smaller production houses and keen hobbyists.
7Artisans has a long reputation for making good quality photography lenses at the budget end of the scale, and they have had some success with super35 cine lenses too, so I was very keen to get to grips with their new Infinte cine lenses (spelled Infinity on their website but Infinte on the hardware). I’ve spent some time with the standard set, consisting of a 35mm, 50 mm, and 85mm, all at T2.1. To note, I’ve been using the PL set with an adapter for my L-mount Pyxis.
