We’ve already reported on the upcoming SIRUI Jupiter full-frame cine lenses (three primes and one zoom), but now they’re here: the accompanying Indiegogo campaign has just launched, and you can now financially back their production by ‘pre-ordering’ these lenses. SIRUI was originally a manufacturer of well-made yet affordable tripods and other camera support systems, but a few years back they ventured into new waters by adding cine lenses to their portfolio. Today, not only do spherical cine lenses bear the SIRUI logo but anamorphic lenses can also be found in stores. So today, a new series of full-frame spherical lenses was launched on the popular crowdfunding platform Indiegogo: The SIRUI Jupiter series consists of three prime lenses (24mm T2 Macro, 35mm T2 Macro, 50mm T2 Macro) and one zoom lens (28-85mm T3.2). All four lenses are available with either Canon EF or PL mounts and can be easily adapted to Sony E or Canon RF mounts. SIRUI Jupiter lenses now on Indiegogo Since we are talking about a series here, all three prime lenses share a number of features and characteristics in order to maintain consistency throughout: Similarly positioned (geared) focus and aperture rings, the same 92mm front filter thread (outer diameter: 95mm), and the same 1/4-20″ support thread. image credit: SIRUI All three lenses feature both metric and imperial focus scales, the same T2-22 aperture with 11 rounded blades, and a close focus distance of 0.24m across the entire lens lineup, allowing for very nice close-up and macro shots....
