Sirui's cinema standard zoom — the Jupiter 28-85mm in PL mount for professional production.
The Sirui Jupiter 28-85mm T3.2 Macro Cine is a professional cinema zoom covering the standard range with a constant T3.2 aperture and macro capability. In PL mount, it targets professional film and broadcast production. The Jupiter series represents Sirui's entry into full-frame cinema zoom lenses, expanding beyond their established anamorphic range.
Optical performance is designed for cinema use — consistent rendering throughout the zoom range, minimal focus breathing, and parfocal behaviour. The macro capability adds close-up versatility unusual for a cinema zoom. Sharpness is good throughout. The T3.2 aperture is moderate but maintains consistent exposure throughout the range.
PL mount — professional cinema standard. Weight is approximately 1,800 grams — typical for a full-frame cinema zoom. Build quality is cinema-grade with geared focus, zoom, and iris rings. Luminous markings for dark-set use. The 28-85mm range covers the essential standard-to-portrait focal lengths for the majority of narrative scenes.
Limited availability as a newer cinema lens. Check all geared rings and parfocal behaviour. An interesting addition to the cinema zoom market from Sirui. The PL mount ensures professional compatibility. The macro capability differentiates it from competitors. Priced below Zeiss and Canon cinema zoom alternatives.
