  • 270-degree focus throw enables smooth and precise manual focusing

Lens identity and audience

The 7artisans 12mm T2.9 Vision Cine Lens is an APS-C format manual focus lens built for Sony E-mount cameras. It serves filmmakers and videographers who need a wide-angle perspective with a fast T2.9 aperture for low-light scenes and controlled depth of field.

Installation notes and common issues

The lens mounts directly onto any E-mount body without adapters and shares the same physical design as the 25mm, 35mm and 50mm T1.05 models for consistent handling. A 270-degree focus throw gives precise manual control, but users unfamiliar with cinema lenses may find the lack of autofocus and electronic aperture communication a workflow change.

Pre-purchase checklist

Confirm your camera uses the E-mount and covers an APS-C image circle; full-frame bodies will require crop mode. Verify you can work with a fully manual lens that has no electronic contacts for EXIF data or iris control. The close focus distance of 0.14 m suits tight product or detail shots, so ensure that working distance fits your typical setups.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 12mm T2.9 Vision Cine Lens is performing correctly after mounting it on my E-mount camera?

Check that the aperture ring clicks at T2.9, the focus ring rotates smoothly through the full 270-degree throw, and close focus locks sharply at 0.14 m with minimal chromatic aberration thanks to the ED glass elements.

What comes in the box with the 12mm T2.9 Vision Cine Lens and what must I purchase separately?

The lens ships with front and rear caps; you will need to buy filters, a lens hood, a follow-focus gear or a matte box separately as they are not included.

Should I choose the 12mm T2.9 or one of the 25mm, 35mm or 50mm T1.05 versions for my APS-C cine kit?

Pick the 12mm T2.9 when you need an ultra-wide field of view and 0.14 m close focus; choose the 25mm, 35mm or 50mm T1.05 models for tighter framing and a brighter T1.05 aperture.
