Lens walimex pro T2 for Nikon Z 23365 — 2.2x magnification cine lens

walimex pro T2 for Nikon Z 23365 — 2.2x magnification cine lens is a manual cine-style optic designed for Nikon Z mount cameras. The lens offers 2.2x magnification and manual control over focus and aperture consistent with cine lenses, enabling precise adjustment for film-making, video production and controlled photography. It is intended for close-up work and creative composition where increased magnification and repeatable, tactile control are required.

Advantages

The lens provides a fixed cine T2 aperture rating and a magnification factor of 2.2x, enabling tighter framing and greater subject isolation than standard optics. Manual focus and aperture rings deliver smooth, precise adjustments suitable for pulling focus and matching exposure in sequenced shots. The cine-style ergonomics and markings support repeatable settings and frame-to-frame consistency in production environments.

Suitable for

• Independent and professional film-making on Nikon Z cameras
• Video production and narrative shooting requiring manual focus control
• Close-up, macro-style composition and creative magnification
• Controlled photography where precise aperture and focus adjustments are needed

Key specifications

• Mount: Nikon Z mount compatible
• Magnification: 2.2x
• Aperture type: cine-style T2 rating (manual aperture control)
• Focus control: manual focus ring designed for cine use
• Design intent: cine-style ergonomics and markings for repeatable adjustments

How to use

Mount the lens onto a compatible Nikon Z camera and confirm secure attachment before use. Use the manual focus ring to set precise focus distances, taking advantage of the smooth travel and markings for repeatable pulls. Adjust the T2 aperture ring to control exposure and depth of field manually; the cine-style aperture allows incremental, tactile changes suitable for matching exposure between shots. When composing close-ups, account for the 2.2x magnification to frame subjects more tightly than with standard lenses.

Usage recommendations

For best results in film and video workflows, pair the lens with a camera that supports focus peaking or magnified live view to aid manual focus. Use follow-focus systems or matte boxes when precise repeatability or accessory mounting is required. Because the lens is fully manual, verify exposure and focus before critical takes and consider using controlled lighting to exploit the lens’s magnification and depth of field characteristics.
