Fujinon MK50-135mm T2.9 cine lens Hands-on Review

The Fujinon MK50-135mm T2.9 cinema lens is the second in Fujifilm’s new line of MK lenses designed for Super 35 and APS-C cameras. MK lenses are designed to appeal to the emerging production market, offering features and quality typically associated with more expensive cinema lenses at a price point that’s attractive to budget-conscious cinematographers. The MK lenses are based on Fujifilm’s excellent Cabrio line of cinema lenses (which cost $15K and up), and share the same coatings as well as a similar mechanical build, but at a cost just under $4,000 they’re more accessible to a lot of users.
