Pro Shooters:We’ve been playing with the Rokinon 35mm f/1.4 on the Sony A7RIII and we’re quite impressed with the optical quality. We went out and shot some parkour stunts in low light at 120fps and got some pretty awesome results – here’s the video:

New SLR Magic MicroPrime CINE lens series in E-mount

Share

PRESS RELEASE

Hong Kong, China (April 9th, 2018) – SLR Magic will present a new family of CINE lenses, MicroPrime series, to the public in the upcoming NAB Show 2018 in Las Vegas at the SLR Magic booth (Upper Central Hall, C-2663). The SLR Magic MicroPrime CINE 25mm T1.5, 35mm T1.3, 50mm T1.2, and 75mm T1.5 are the first lenses of the family.

The SLR Magic MicroPrime CINE lenses are designed to be compact and robust for use in a professional setting. The MicroPrime CINE lenes have a large image circle that covers up to full frame. Witness markings on the lenses are all calibrated for accuracy professional use on the field. Each lens is balanced in a similar weight distribution so that recalibration is not required during switching lenses when using a 3-axis gimbal. Lens gears are built-in with a throw slightly longer than photographic lenses but at the same time manageable when a motorized follow focus is not used. Each lens features internal focusing mechanism and comes with a standard 85mm diameter suitable for matte box use. In the situation where a smaller setup is required, each lenses also comes with a 82mm filter thread for use with 82mm Fixed ND filters.

We place our highest priority in the development on our lenses to fulfill the demands of professional cinematographers.

SLR Magic is exhibiting the first lenses of the MicroPrime cinema series at the 2018 NAB Show. The SLR Magic stand would be in upper central hall (C-2663) during the show, which is to be held in Las Vegas from 9th to the 12th of April 2018.

The SLR Magic MicroPrime CINE 25mm T1.5, 35mm T1.3, 50mm T1.2, and 75mm T1.5 (MSRP: $799 US) will be available from authorized SLR Magic dealers by May 2018. The SLR Magic 18mm T2.9 will be ready by Q3 2018.
