Prime Lens Set

5 lens package 20-85mm/T2.5 with Full Frame (FF Φ43.3) and S35 coverage.

Compatible with all cameras with PL mount including Full Frame cameras too without adaptation.

Just like the Cine Prime but with a lot of character which many people like, as they flare easily and since the design incorporates more non-coated optical elements for expression. Whilst retaining the 8K resolution of the high-speed cine range, the Classic Primes offer a unique combination of low contrast and artistic flare/ghost to creates beautiful bokeh effects for creative freedom.

This necessarily means that all Classic Primes are T2.5, compared with the T1.5 of the Cine Primes range.

All are rated for full 4K resolution and include follow focus rings, clear focus scaling and are fully manual throughout and the build quality is first class.

These lenses are optimised for cinema use and all feature a 9-blade aperture diaphragm for a beautiful full rounded bokeh.

  • All are T2.5-T16
  • All have 95mm front
  • All have Full Frame coverage FF Φ43.3

Used in 4x FF Comparison Lens Tests 2023

In a break from tradition demos, VMI invited 40 camera department professionals to come and shoot their own tests across full frame lenses from Cooke, Gecko, Tribe and Sigma on either Sony Venice or ARRI Mini LF.   All video links are available on the page below, so that you can see these lenses side by side in real-world scenes.
