Do you have a micro four-thirds system and a desire to shoot with video-oriented lenses? Is your budget on the smaller side, but forgiving enough to invest in a nice set of cine prime glass? If you answered “yes” and “yes,” today is your lucky day, because a modest startup by the name of Veydra may have answered your prayers.

After a successfully-funded kickstarter campaign (544% backed), Veydra has created its first set of (mini) cine prime lenses for the direct use with the micro four-thirds system. The Veydra primes sell individually (12, 16, 25, 35, 50, and 85mm) or come in a four-piece set with a hard case (16, 25, 35, 50mm). These lenses are a full-metal construction, feature a 2.2 T-Stop and have a 0.8 cinema pitched gear for both iris and focus rings. Additionally, the lenses exceed 4K image resolving and feature longer focus throws to ensure smooth and accurate focus-pulling techniques.

The Veydra set’s best and most practical feature is that every lens has an 80mm outside diameter. This allows you to swap lenses effortlessly without having to readjust your follow focus or reconfigure your rig setup. Following this trend, Veydra has ensured that each lens has the same inner diameter filter thread of 77mm. This will allow you to apply a circular ND, UV, or color filter to your lenses without having to fiddle with various adapter rings from one lens to the next.

I have a passion for motion picture; which in that is the magic of make believe. New technologies that change the way we acquire content is what excites me. I enjoy cooking and cycling outside of work =)
