Joining the other MFT mount SLR Magic Hyperprimes is the 10mm T2.1 Hyperprime Cine Lens. Designed specifically for use with MFT mount cameras with Four Thirds sized sensors the lens strikes a useful balance between size, form, and function. The 10mm lens features sharp images exhibiting little corner and edge distortion, even when the iris is at its maximum opening of T2.1.

The lens' Cine designation refers to the geared focus and iris rings, which feature 0.8 pitch teeth for compatibility with film style follow focus units. The clickless iris ring allows you to adjust the aperture during the shot for smooth iris pulls. The front of the lens does not rotate as you change focus, and is threaded to accept threaded 77mm filters or filter rings.

The lens has a 35mm equivalent focal length of 20mm on a standard Four Thirds camera.

The front element does not rotate as you change focus of the lens, it also does not protrude beyond the front lens threading, allowing you to attach filters to the front of your lens.

The clickless iris allows you to smoothly adjust your exposure during the shot.

Built-in iris and focus gears follow industry standards, allowing you to work with optional follow focus units and lens gear motors.

Q: 7. What are the markings 16 8 4 4 8 16 for?

A: That is the lens's hyperfocal distance scale. Normally only found on manual prime lenses like this, it can be a very useful tool. First determine your aperture and by using the image above of the lens as an example, lets say it is a f/16. The lens focus is set here to 3'6 . Note that the right hand 16 lines up with 10' and the left hand 16 lines up with 2'4 . This is your depth of field with this 10mm lens, with a aperture setting of f/16 and a focus of 3'6 . Your area in focus is 7'8 . Another example, one very good for gimbal work. Move the focus ring until the Infinity (Inf) mark lines up with the right hand aperture of whatever the aperture is be it 4 or 8 or 16. Then look to the corresponding one on the left and note the distance on the focus ring. That means everything from that point to infinity is in focus. No focus pulling needed. This knowledge was the basis of my profession as a camera assistant. Sometimes I would wish all lenses had this much dept of field.
