The InterBEE show was big, and the screens were big as well. 8K was everywhere. It’s only 4 years to the 8K Tokyo Olympics. There were some interesting things not often seen — especially the PL-EF and EF-E mount flare adapters from Technical Farm. Selectively cover the plexi barrel with black camera tape to reduce flare; peel it away to increase haziness. Shine a flashlight through the plexi barrel to create interesting or weird flares. A very useful accessory.
