KIPON Colibri Colibri 35mm T2.5 35mm
A 10-blade iris creates a unique star-shaped bokeh, while the 300° focus rotation and smooth bearing system offer precise manual control on full-frame sensors. Its compact 404g build shares an 80mm front diameter and consistent color with the Colibri series, simplifying rig swaps. This lens is best for narrative filmmakers and gimbal operators who prioritize distinctive rendering and lightweight, matched sets over autofocus.
