SONY BURANO TOOLKIT

BUILT FOR BURANO Pro video brands have jumped on the Sony BURANO bandwagon, releasing lenses, grips and other compatible items elevating the new 8K camera

SIGMA CINE LENSES With over half a century of experience, Sigma lenses are optically precise, with smooth control and a robust build for heavy working use. Favoured by DOPs for their versatility, Sigma cine optics suit productions shot in small spaces or with solo operators. Compatible with the Sony E-mount, all Sigma glass is 8K-ready, with focal lengths ranging from 14 to 135mm. Its High Speed Primes in particular boast apertures as low as T1.5. L ast autumn, Sony added the BURANO to its acclaimed line- up of digital cine cameras – prompting other pro video brands to release compatible products. Shooting in full-frame 8K and supporting IBIS, the BURANO opens new avenues for filmmaking, particularly solo and indie projects which can capitalise on its lower price. We’ve scoured the market for the accessories – from glass to grips – contributing to this cause.
