Optical Design and Image Quality

Cine lenses are crafted with meticulous precision.

They feature advanced optical designs to ensure exceptional image quality. Unlike traditional photography lenses, cine lenses are optimized for motion pictures, addressing issues such as focus breathing and parallax, providing filmmakers with a consistent and smooth imaging performance.
Filmmakers frequently work with a set of lenses to maintain visual consistency throughout a project. Cine lenses are designed to match each other closely in terms of colour rendition, contrast, and overall optical characteristics. This consistency is crucial when switching between lenses during a shoot, ensuring a seamless visual flow without distracting variations.
