In the new era of high-resolution digital cinema, a lens must do more than just capture an image; it must render a flawless digital canvas. The Sigma Cine Prime Kit was born from this philosophy. It is a lens series engineered without compromise, designed to meet the extreme demands of 6K and 8K sensors while delivering a level of optical quality that rivals lenses costing many times more. At Unicorn Films, we believe in providing tools that offer both excellence and value, making this lens set a premier rental choice for filmmakers in Delhi who refuse to compromise on their vision.
The defining characteristic of the Sigma Cine Primes is their breathtaking optical performance. These lenses were built with one goal in mind: to provide class-leading sharpness and clarity.
This world-class sharpness is paired with incredible speed. Most of the lenses in the standard prime set feature a very fast maximum aperture of T1.5. This wide-open T-stop provides two major creative advantages. First, it allows for shooting in very low or available-light situations while maintaining a clean, low-noise image. Second, it gives cinematographers precise control over depth of field, enabling the creation of beautiful subject separation and soft, pleasing backgrounds, which are further enhanced by a smooth 9-bladed iris.
Sigma has matched this optical excellence with robust and efficient mechanics designed for the professional film set. The entire set is unified for a seamless on-set experience, a core principle of our hassle-free rental service at Unicorn Films.
The Sigma Cine Prime kit represents a new paradigm in cinematography: the democratization of elite-level optics. They deliver the performance expected from the most expensive lenses in the world at a fraction of the cost, making them one of the smartest and most popular rental choices in the industry today. For independent films, music videos, commercials, and feature films, these lenses provide a flawless foundation upon which to build your visual story.
