Schneider 35mm T2.1 Xenon FF-Prime Manual Focus Manual Aperture Lens For Canon EF Mount In Feet Review

The Schneider 35mm T2.1 Xenon FF-Prime is a manual cinema lens designed for Canon EF mount full-frame cameras. With a fast T2.1 aperture and manual focus and iris control, it's built for video work where precise, repeatable adjustments and cinematic rendering matter. The Xenon FF-Prime series is positioned as an affordable entry into Schneider's cinema optics, offering full-frame coverage and consistent mechanical design across the focal range.

This particular listing is a used example from KEH in Like New Minus condition, meaning it shows minimal signs of wear and ships with caps. At $1,144, it represents a significant discount compared to new cinema primes, making it an accessible option for independent filmmakers and videographers looking to step up from photo lenses. The lens features foot markings for focus scales, a 95mm front diameter, and the manual controls expected of a cinema prime. As a legacy model, availability may be limited, so those seeking this focal length in the Xenon FF-Prime lineup should act when good used examples surface.
