Irix 30mm T1.5 Cine Announced


Irix 30mm T1.5 Cine: B&H Photo / Amazon

Irix introduces the all new full-frame 30mm T1.5 cine lens
Irix, the manufacturer of high-class optics for photo and film industry, expands its Cine line by introducing the new 30mm T1.5 lens. This new model is joining the line of full-frame cinematographic lens designed for shooting with Ultra HD 8K cinema cameras. The Irix 30mm T1.5 is based on a completely new optical design which includes 3 Extra-low Dispersion glass elements,  2 High Reflective elements and one Aspherical lens. Total 13 elements in 11 groups deliver crisp details, vibrant colors and an ultra-low – 0,95% distortion. An image circle of 43,3mm (diagonally), is completely covering every sensor size from Full Frame 35 down to 1/3” sensors. The circular, 11-blade iris construction, provides a pleasant background blur and a smooth adjustment in range from T1.5 to T16. With practically no focus breathing (below 1,5 degree in full range from 0,3m to infinity) , the Irix Cine 30mm T1.5 is the perfect lens for filming scenes with a natural character.

New 30mm fits right in between wide end with 11/15mm lenses and the narrow 45mm and 150mm of current Irix linup. Thanks to this, it becomes a very universal lens, that can be used for multiple types of production: Documentary/report – it involves mainly interviews and broll. Both can be easily shot with just 30mm lens. Commercials – mainly shots of product or location, depending on company it’s produced for, again using just one lens, a very satisfying production can be made. Music videos – they either involve staged scenes or the band/singer. This can be also produced using just one lens. This focal length can easily be used as an entry prime lens for any filmmaker, for someone who already owns other lenses, this will be a go to lens, when trying to stay lightweight. Read More »

New Tiltaing Sony FX3 Lightweight Kit


Tiltaing Sony FX3 Lightweight Kit:

B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

Tiltaing Sony FX3 Lightweight Kit – Full Camera Cage –
This Lightweight Kit for the Sony FX3 provides protective armor for the camera body and includes relevant accessories to improve the functionality of the Sony FX3 while remaining lightweight.

The Full Cage features several 1/4″-20 threads with various locating pins, two cold shoe receivers, a NATO Rail for Wooden and Advanced Side Handles, as well as a Rod Attachment Port for our Single Rod Holders.

The left side arm module can be removed to turn this full cage into a half cage.

This offers greater flexibility for stripping the camera down in situations where weight is a concern such as when mounting the system on a gimbal.

The Bottom Plate of the cage also provides several mounting points for attaching your camera to various quick release plates and is compatible with the ARCA Receiver of the RS2 Mounting Plate.

The included Quick Release Plate can be attached to the bottom of the cage to connect the system to our 15m LWS Baseplate Type IV.

The Top Mounting Plate doubles as a NATO Rail for Side Handles to be mounted on top of the camera for Vertical Shooting needs.

The Top Mounting Plate can also be removed independently of the other cage components, which allows you to easily mount the FX3’s original XLR Top Handle if needed.

The included Advanced Power Handle connects to the cage via a NATO Rail connection on the left side.

This handle allows you to power accessories and control run stop on the FX3 via an included cable.

The rotation of the handle and additional hand strap allows for comfortable and flexible operation of the Sony FX3.

The included HDMI Cable Clamp and male to female HDMI Adapter allows you to secure your HDMI cable to your camera cage. Read More »

CL: Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro Review


Camera labs posted its Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro Review and it is a lengthy one. You can read the full review here or check out the excerpt below:

Laowa’s 25mm f2.8 2.5-5x Ultra Macro is a very special macro lens: Its major attraction is being able to achieve up to 5x magnification (at working distances around 4cm/1.6in) without any additional gear. But – like other lenses achieving 5x magnification – it has only manual focus and cannot focus to infinity. The lens produces sharp images with very little field-curvature across the full frame, copes well in contra-light situations, has pretty nice Bokeh, and comes at an affordable price. This all clearly earns the 25mm f2.8 2.5-5x Ultra Macro a recommendation. Just make sure to use a good focus rail and focus stacking software.

Good points:

  • Goes up to 5x magnification.
  • Good resolution across the full frame at all magnifications.
  • Very little field-curvature.
  • Nice Bokeh.
  • Useful front LED ring light as optional accessory.
  • Affordable price.

Bad points:

  • Does not focus to infinity.
  • No autofocus, no EXIF data, no lens profile.
  • Working distances of around 4cm/1.6in.
  • Manual operation of aperture.
  • Longitudinal colour aberrations could be better controlled.
  • Focus ring not practical for manual focusing.
  • No weather sealing.
