Digitaloptik Image Circle Extender
There are a lot of great lenses, especially zooms, designed in the days of the Academy format, that have been relegated to back shelves when Super 35 and larger sensor cameras came out. Despair no more; dust off your venerable…
Dragons and the Chocolate Factory
It was like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for camera geeks at NAB. South Lower Hall had a working RED camera assembly area, complete with clean room, sensor installation, nitrogen freezing and vibrating QC. RED Epics were upgraded on the…
Easier EasyFocus
EasyFocus just got easier–and smaller, lighter, more ergonomic. Gabriel Bauer, AAC (left), designer of Moviecam and Arricam, introduced the second generation of his touch-screen focus-puller’s best friend. The new model is about the size of a laptop, with a new…

Cooke Series II & III Revived
Give them your tired, your poor, your old Cooke Series II and III Panchros yearning to be breathing free. If you’re looking for a vintage Cooke Series II and III Panchro look, here’s the real deal. Colin Sanders (right) and…
OConnor’s Killer Donuts
Killer Donuts? No, Thye’re not the latest lethal offering from craft service. OConnor’s new anti-reflection rings (donuts) were two of the most simple-why-didn’t anyone-think-of-them-before innovative products of NAB. Prototypes were seen at Cinec and Cine Gear — now they are…
Fujinon Cabrio 14-28 T2.9 Update
Fujinon usually has a surprise under glass at NAB. This year’s revelation was a pre-production Premier PL 14-28 mm T2.9 Cabrio wide angle zoom (model ZK2x14). It will join the 19-90 T2.9 and 85-300 mm T2.9-4.0 Cabrios around the end…

MōVi
If FDTimes gave awards, MōVi would probably win most innovative new product of the show. It reminds me of a stabilized head (like Russian Arm, Libra, Scorpio) that goes handheld. Or think of it as a stabilized helicopter mount minus…

New Fujinon Cabrio 14-28mm
Fujinon announces a new Cabrio for NAB. On display at their NAB booth will be the new Premier PL 14-28mm Cabrio wide angle lens (model ZK2x14). Focal length from 14-28mm at T2.9, with 200-degree focus rotation. This is the 3rd…
This is what has been cooking at Angénieux and Cooke
Anamorphic Lenses At the AFC Micro Salon in Paris a few weeks ago, Angénieux CEO and President Pierre Andurand and Cooke Chairman Les Zellan were seen tête à tête. FDTimes has learned that Angénieux and Cooke technical teams worked together…
