7Artisans has announced the launch of its DREAM series, a new line of manual-focus full-frame cine primes designed for professional creators. The series debuts with three focal lengths: 35mm, 50mm, and 75mm, all featuring a fast T1.5 aperture for shallow depth of field and strong low-light performance. Built for cinema use, the lenses include 0.8 MOD cine gearing on focus and iris rings, enabling precise and repeatable adjustments with follow-focus systems. Each lens offers a 300° focus rotation, providing fine control for critical focusing in demanding shooting scenarios.
The DREAM series shares a common 88mm front diameter, allowing creators to use a single matte box or filter system across all three lenses, streamlining workflow on set. Designed for full-frame sensors, the lenses deliver edge-to-edge sharpness and consistent image quality across the frame. They are compatible with Sony E, Nikon Z, Leica L, and Canon RF mounts, broadening accessibility for users across major mirrorless systems.
While the lenses are manual-focus only, their cine-oriented build appeals to filmmakers and hybrid shooters who prioritize optical character and mechanical precision. The T1.5 aperture supports cinematic storytelling with smooth bokeh and subject isolation. 7Artisans positions the DREAM series as an affordable yet professional-grade option for indie filmmakers, content creators, and small production teams seeking high-quality glass without the premium price tag of legacy cinema lenses.
The announcement reflects a growing trend of third-party lens makers expanding into the cine market with accessible, mount-agnostic offerings. By targeting multiple popular systems, 7Artisans aims to serve a wide creator base looking to upgrade their cinematic toolkit. The DREAM series is now available, with further details on pricing and regional availability expected from authorized retailers.
