For non-servo zoom control, the lens features cine-standard 0.8 mod gears, as well as a rubberized grip on the focus ring enabling comfortable manual operation.
This cinema lens boasts an Image Stabilization function and Auto Focus function. The lens is also fully 4K-ready with a high optical resolution and support for Super35mm large-format cameras.
