SLR Magic 25mm T/0.95 Hyperprime Cine Lens Review

SLR Magic 25mm T/0.95 Hyperprime Cine Lens Verdict

Those who may be looking at this lens for video, as well as still photography will appreciate the video orientated features of this lens, such as the stepless aperture and geared grips on the controls. However, if this isn't your specialism, and you simply require a fast aperture, the case for this lens is less clear cut, especially as the current price of the closest Panasonic equivalent is around £200 less. The SLR Magic lens may be just over a stop faster, but it is also much more basic, as it lacks autofocus and automatic aperture control. However, if you simply must have the fastest optic available, this lens is still a good choice, and providing usable sharpness at T/0.95 is no mean feat.

	The SLR Magic 25mm T/0.95 Hyperprime Cine lens has outstanding sharpness in the centre when stopped down.
