Chinese lens and accessories manufacturer SIRUI teases a new Indiegogo campaign with new lenses from their Jupiter series. The two Cine Macro full-frame lenses will be launched: a short Tele 75mm T2.8 with a 1:1 reproduction ratio and a classic 100 T2.8 with an impressive 1.5:1 reproduction ratio. Both lenses are part of the existing Jupiter series and are mechanically identical with their focus and aperture gear position and 95mm filter thread. Body and design As with every other Jupiter lens in this series, the new 75 and 100mm lenses will incorporate two physical control rings. The aperture ring will take us from max T2.8 to min T22 and both lenses will focus as close as 29mm (measured from the sensor). this will result in a life-size reproduction ratio (1:1) on the 75mm lens and a whopping 1.5:1 on the 100mm lens. It’s rather rare to find a lens that provides both infinity focus and such a reproduction ratio. The two new tele-macro lenses join three existing Jupiter primes – 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm, all T2.0. As Cine series lenses, all share similar weights, controls, etc. Both new lenses will include a standard 1/4″ lens support mount. Like the rest of the series, both lenses will have either EF or PL mounts with no electronic connection and will easily adapt to any mirrorless system via adapters.
