SLR Magic have unveiled two new members of the APO-HyperPrime lens family, the SLR Magic APO-HyperPrime CINE 25mm T2.1 and the SLR Magic APO-HyperPrime CINE 85mm T2.1. They join the existing 50mm T2.1, as SLR Magic look to be getting closer to finally building a more complete set of Cine lenses.
The lenses are said to take full advantage of modern high-resolution 4K camera sensors, and support sensor sizes up to 6K. The APO-HyperPrime CINE 25mm T2.1 and APO-HyperPrime CINE 85mm T2.1 should provide a similar look and performance regardless of what lens you are using. At wide open apertures, the lens are claimed to provide pleasing results.
According to the company, the new lenses create outstanding images under challenging lighting conditions. When taking pictures with many image-dominant, open light sources, it is common for correction defects to show up. These apochromatic (APO) lens, longitudinal chromatic aberrations are corrected by its unique optical design and special selection of optical elements. The color defects are therefore significantly lower than the defined limits. Bright/dark transitions in the image, and especially highlights, are rendered with no colourful artefacts.
SLR Magic also claim that thanks to the low level of longitudinal chromatic aberration, there are no visible aberrations. So an illuminated portrait scene by night with many light sources in front of and behind the actual focal plane appears close to reality, without displaying complementary, color contrast edges.
The APO-HyperPrime CINE lens series comes standard in PL mount and can be easily adapted to numerous camera systems with the optional PL-mFT adapter, PL-E adapter, EF adapter and NF adapter. The lenses feature standard focus rotation angle of 300 degrees and uniform measurements. All APO-HyperPrime CINE lenses have pitched gears for use with standard follow-focus system.
As a continued dedication to anamorphic lenses, some of the lenses in the APO-HyperPrime CINE lens family are said to be compatible with the SLR Magic Anamorphot adapter.
SLR Magic will start shipping the APO-HyperPrime CINE 25mm T2.1, SLR Magic APO-HyperPrime CINE 50mm T2.1, and SLR Magic APO-HyperPrime CINE 85mm T2.1 lens set by Q3 2016.
Newsshooter will be sure to check them out at NAB next week.
