TRIBE7 recently announced a SKIN tuning conversion kit for their BLACKWING7 primes, which introduces a new level of tunability to their existing lenses. The effect is a warm amber hue, with gold and intense ruby red ghost flare characteristics. Learn more about the SKIN design philosophy and upgrade process.

AbelCine's Spring Tech Showcase was held May 21st at our Brooklyn location. The event featured new technology, hands-on demos, and panel discussions. Here are some of the highlights of the gear and solutions for virtual production, multi-cam cinema, camera movement, and lenses that were on display.

This past Saturday, AbelCine held its first Spring Tech Showcase event at its Industry City location in Brooklyn, NY. The day was full of new technology, hands-on demos, inspirational panels, and much more. More than 15 camera, lens, lighting, and technology manufacturers showed off their latest gear, including some exciting product first looks. Panel discussions and educational breakout sessions took place throughout the space as well.

AbelCine has sets of Fujinon Premista lenses available to demo for your next large format project. Available lenses are the 28-100mm and 80-250mm. 

ARRI just announced an extension to their Signature lens family, with four new Signature Zoom lenses. These lenses are designed for universal use with any large-format or Super 35 camera.

ZEISS has just announced the next three lenses joining the Supreme Prime family, an 18mm T1.5, 40mm T1.5, and 200mm T2.2.

ARRI Signature Primes are designed for use with full format digital cinema cameras. Signature Primes exemplify state-of-the-art optical precision, yet they render organic, emotionally engaging images, gently softening and texturizing the large format with natural skin tones and creamy bokeh. A fast maximum aperture of T1.8 facilitates shallow depth of field and the smooth focus fall-off gives subjects heightened presence in the frame.

With the growing demand for full format, there is a need for high quality lenses of all types that cover the cameras’ sensors. When it comes to macros, RAPTOR Macros from IB/E Optics are best in class with a complete set of focal lengths, outstanding optical quality, and an interchangeable lens mount system.

Photographers, videographers, and cinematographers haven't always had a wide selection of affordable, native mount lenses for their Sony α7 cameras. G Master lenses change that with high resolution and a beautiful bokeh. Sony's durable optical design helps minimize artificial coloration and provides coverage for future large sensor cameras. The G Master lineup covers from 24mm to 200mm and includes both prime and zoom lenses, with wide-angle, portrait, and a zoom suited to sports or wildlife – all in an FE mount that attaches to your α7 camera without the need for an adapter.
