This vintage lens stands among the widest rectilinear lenses ever made. It delivers a distortion-free image, an impressive feat given its age and fast aperture. The lens is quite sharp, with a touch of blooming when wide open, and contrast that improves beautifully as you stop down. It also exhibits virtually no focus breathing, and its close-focus capabilities let you move in so tight that your subject is nearly touching the front element.
The legendary Kinoptik 9.8mm gained fame as one of Stanley Kubrick’s favourites, featured in both A Clockwork Orange and The Shining. This lens is a perfect choice when you need an ultra-wide option to complement vintage lens sets, particularly those from the 1950s and 1960s.
Please note this lens does not cover OG Alexa 35, and OG Alexa Mini will need a small crop.
Focal Length:
- 9.8mm T/2
