Description and Reviews

Key Take-Aways:

The 7Artisans MF 85mm T2.0 is a manual-focus full-frame cine telephoto prime with a 28-degree angle of view, 832 g weight and a $459 price. Phillip Reeve reports that its aperture ring does nothing between T2.0 and about T2.3, that its breathing is the same as in a unit-focus 85mm, that infinity focus sits slightly past the mark, and that it is the colour reference for the set. Future Shock Studios’ video (2025), titled “Sharp. Smooth. Cinematic”, differs on breathing: its description claims near-zero breathing, alongside a 270-degree focus throw and geared rings. Christopher Frost also has a samples video (2022). As of Oct 2026, the written caveats are Reeve’s aperture-ring dead zone and breathing.

From 7Artisans:
