CINE GEAR REVIEW NEWS
a new sensor block for only $2500, slight downside was you don’t get all the frame rates. Chapman Leonard braved the non-shaded outside location with its fantastic range of support and dollies where I found that dollies were first used to load bombs on Second World War aircraft. Chapman Leonard also won the best show accessory with its full surround wicker hats (actually, make that second best in our opinion, to our sunglasses!). The Carl Zeiss booth was all about its new Supreme large-format lenses. Early adopter Balazs Bolygo commented: “What I really like is that the lenses have a beautiful gentle roll- off on the focus while still retaining the resolution demanded by these higher pixels count cameras. They also aid achieving maximum detail in the highlights and due to their ‘micro- contrast’ coating also help to achieve
Cinefade effect but is also a variable ND filter; you can dial in the level of ND that you want so you don’t have to continuously change a filter, also good for remote set-ups on cranes for instance and Steadicams. With Oliver on C-Motion ’s stand, it was the perfect opportunity to eye its new cvision focus assist system, which uses a stereo based measurement tool that measures hundreds of thousands of points per second. The 62˚ field of view allows you to measure key points on set and even track subjects before they come into frame. The demo quickly attracted a bunch of focus pullers who joked (well, half-joked) that their jobs were in danger. Canon ’s stand was concentrating on its new C700 FF camera, which has entered the large-format world with its non-standard sized new sensor. As a show promotion Canon was offering to update your C700 with
maximum tonal separation in the high to mid lows.” Cineo Lighting celebrated its local show with a great booth featuring a huge NBCUniversal Lightblade image. Apart from its own gear, Aladdin Lighting had its distributed lines including Zylight ; the company manages to distribute lighting products as well as selling its own, which is a pretty unique position. They were showing their Fabric-Lite, a 3x3 foot LED panel that folds up for packing and manipulation, with all controls on an outboard box.
