13. PANASONIC Cine Gear Expo 2018 will see Panasonic display the latest innovations in film and TV production. Panasonic will showcase the full VariCam line-up – the flagship VariCam 35, the compact VariCam LT and the VariCam Pure, which provides 4K uncompressed Raw at up to 120fps, all of which can be configured to meet a variety of production scenarios. In 2017 a number of productions shot with VariCam aired, including ITV Studios’ The Moorside in the UK and The Deuce for HBO. The VariCam is also proving popular with Netflix, with productions including Orange is the New Black and Master of None all being shot with the VariCam series. The recently launched AU-EVA1 will also be on show. Thanks to its newly-developed 5.7K Super 35mm sensor, dual-native ISO sensitivity and lightweight design, EVA1 fulfils a wide range of run-and-gun and handheld shooting styles. www.panasonic.com 14.

15. P+S TECHNIK P+S TECHNIK will show their anamorphic lens series ‘Evolution 2X’ as well as their scope of lens rehousing to visitors of Cine Gear Expo 2018. “NAB Show 2018 showed us already that the demand for anamorphic lenses is still increasing”, says MD Anna Piffl. “We are ready to provide professional solutions here while keeping in mind larger sensors.” Since 2017 they have delivered the Evolution 2X anamorphic lenses (for S35 format). Over 100 lenses with the focal length 40mm, 50mm, 75mm and 100mm have already been delivered. The success of the Evolution 2X lenses, which are matching the look of the original KOWA, encouraged them to make the 135mm a perfect match. The 135 mm has new front anamorphic elements, to reach the light intensity and a compact design. www.pstechnik.de 16.
