The Apsara Lumière T1.4 Super Speed lenses are designed to be here for filmmakers who want a balance of performance and poetry. With a fast maximum aperture of T1.4, Lumière opens the door to stunning low-light cinematography, ultra-shallow depth of field, and beautifully expressive bokeh. Inspired by the soul of vintage lenses yet built with modern reliability, Lumière will look to blend character-rich rendering with sharp optical performance across today’s high-resolution digital sensors.
Each lens will be meticulously assembled and calibrated in Canada, using premium coatings and precision-milled components. The result should be compact, fast, and full of soul. Lumière aims to be an ideal tool for narrative filmmakers, commercial directors, and visual storytellers who want more than just clinical perfection.

With a tagline that boasts that this series has been engineered for the elite while being designed for emotion, the Apsara Prestige T2.0 series is a full-frame PL-mount cine lens line that is overall made for high-end productions where visual integrity and mechanical precision are paramount.
