DJI DL 35mm f/2.8 LS ASPH Lens

Our thoughts

"The DJI DL 35mm f/2.8 LS ASPH is one of the most balanced lenses in the DL lineup. Its natural field of view gives footage a clean, cinematic perspective, equally at home on a Ronin 4D or Inspire 3. Lightweight, sharp, and versatile — it’s a staple for both aerial and ground-based cinematographers."

Product description

Rent a DJI DL 35mm f/2.8 LS ASPH for beautifully natural, lifelike framing when shooting on DJI’s Zenmuse X9-8K, X9, or X7 systems. Designed for both aerial and gimbal applications, this 53mm-equivalent lens (on the X7) is ideal for a wide range of productions — from cinematic storytelling and documentary work to architectural or landscape filming.

The DJI DL 35mm f/2.8 LS ASPH combines professional-grade optics with DJI’s signature lightweight carbon-fibre housing. The ultra-short flange distance helps maintain perfect balance and stability when used on drones or gimbals, such as the Inspire 3 or Ronin 4D. Its integrated leaf shutter significantly reduces rolling-shutter artefacts and flicker caused by artificial lighting, while the f/2.8 aperture provides smooth subject separation and excellent low-light capability. Optically, the lens offers superb contrast, colour fidelity, and minimal distortion, making it one of the most versatile choices in the DL range.

Supporting standard 46mm front filters, the DL 35mm f/2.8 LS ASPH easily integrates with ND or polarising filters for creative exposure control. Its precision-engineered aspherical elements ensure consistent performance from edge to edge, whether capturing aerial establishing shots or handheld sequences in the field.

Optical performance and flexibility

The DJI DL 35mm f/2.8 LS ASPH produces a natural, neutral perspective that closely mirrors the human eye — ideal for balanced, immersive visuals. The optical design features advanced aspherical glass to minimise aberrations and distortion, ensuring crisp details and smooth tonal transitions. Its f/2.8 aperture allows for precise depth-of-field control while maintaining excellent sharpness across the frame.

On aerial platforms such as the Inspire 3, this lens maintains flight stability with its carbon-fibre construction and ultra-short flange distance. On the Ronin 4D, it delivers cinematic, flicker-free footage thanks to the integrated leaf shutter — especially useful under artificial light. Its manageable weight and consistent filter sizing make it a production-friendly option for multi-camera workflows or rapid lens swaps on set.

Why rent the DJI DL 35mm f/2.8 LS ASPH?

The DJI DL 35mm f/2.8 LS ASPH is the most “all-rounder” lens in the DL family — wide enough for contextual shots, yet tight enough for natural portraits or narrative close-ups. Its combination of sharp optics, minimal distortion, and balanced handling makes it ideal for professional filmmakers who alternate between drone and ground-based production.

Renters will appreciate its reliable performance across Inspire 3 and Ronin 4D platforms, as well as its ease of use with 46mm filters. It’s the perfect rental choice for productions needing a consistent, cinematic look across aerial and handheld footage.
