7Artisans DREAM 35mm T1.5 Full-Frame Cinema Lens for Canon R
The 7Artisans DREAM 35mm T1.5 Full-Frame Cinema Lens is a manual cine prime designed for Canon R-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. Its 35mm focal length provides a natural, moderately wide perspective suitable for narrative filmmaking, documentaries, interviews and atmospheric environmental scenes.
As one of the wider lenses in the DREAM series, it covers full-frame sensors with a 43.5mm image circle. The T1.5 maximum aperture, standard 0.8 MOD gearing and 300° focus rotation make it suitable for professional video and cinema workflows.
T1.5 aperture for low-light shooting
The T1.5 maximum aperture allows a large amount of light to reach the image sensor. This provides greater flexibility in low-light environments, night scenes and productions where limited lighting equipment is available. The fast aperture also supports a shallow depth of field. Subjects can be clearly separated from the background, helping direct the viewer’s attention within the frame.
Atmospheric cinematic rendering
The DREAM series is designed to produce a distinctive yet natural image character. Fine textures, gradual focus transitions and rich tonal rendering help create a greater sense of depth within the image.
The optical character supports:
- natural-looking skin tones
- smooth focus transitions
- detailed highlights and shadows
- dimensional image rendering
- an atmospheric cinematic appearance
The optical design aims to control aberrations while retaining a natural and expressive visual character.
35mm focal length for cinematic scenes
On a full-frame sensor, the 35mm focal length provides a diagonal angle of view of 63.7°. It is wide enough to retain the subject’s environment while maintaining a natural perspective.
It is suitable for:
- narrative films
- documentary productions
- interviews
- environmental portraits
- interior scenes
- handheld footage
- gimbal movements
- commercial and music videos
Consistent DREAM series design
DREAM series lenses share a consistent 88mm front diameter and matching positions for the focus and iris gears. Their similar length and weight make lens changes more efficient.
This is particularly useful when working with:
- matte boxes
- wireless focus systems
- follow-focus units
- gimbals
- fully rigged cinema cameras
The consistent dimensions can reduce the need for repositioning accessories after changing lenses.
Standard 0.8 MOD cine gearing
The focus and aperture rings feature standard 0.8 MOD gears. This provides compatibility with a wide range of professional cinema focus-control systems. The geared rings allow precise manual adjustment and can also be operated using a follow-focus unit or motorised lens-control system.
300° focus rotation
The focus ring has a 300° rotation range, providing precise and gradual focus control. The long focus throw is particularly useful at shallow depths of field, where even small adjustments can significantly change the focus point. The fully manual design gives the operator direct control over the speed and accuracy of focus pulls.
11-blade diaphragm
The 11-blade diaphragm supports smooth, natural background blur. At wider apertures, out-of-focus highlights can retain a more rounded and consistent appearance. This is particularly useful for portraits, night scenes and cinematic close-up shots.
82mm filter thread and 88mm front diameter
The lens features an 82mm front filter thread for compatible photographic and video filters. Neutral-density and diffusion filters can be used to further control exposure and image character. The standard 88mm front outside diameter also simplifies integration with cinema accessories such as matte boxes.
Fully manual operation
The lens does not provide electronic communication with the camera body. Focus and aperture adjustments are performed manually. This design provides direct and predictable control and is well suited to professional cinema workflows.
