Shoten Kobo Co., Ltd. has launched the new 7Artisans cinema lens 'Sprite 24-96mm T2.9 S35 PL/EF Mount' starting September 3, 2024. The manufacturer's suggested retail price is 455,000 yen (tax included).
This product is a cinema zoom lens compatible with the Super35mm format, featuring a 4x zoom ratio and a wide focal length range, maintaining an open T-stop of 2.9 across all zoom ranges with a parfocal design.
High-Performance Zoom Lens with Parfocal Design
The 'Sprite 24-96mm T2.9 S35' adopts a parfocal design, ensuring the focus position does not change during zooming in and out. Additionally, the design minimizes focus breathing, allowing precise focus from the minimum shooting distance to infinity. The back focus can also be finely adjusted quickly from the adjustment ring, making it user-friendly.
Durable and Expandable Design
This product features a metal body with excellent dust and drip-proof performance, ensuring durability on set. By using a separately sold 1.5X teleconverter, the focal length can be extended to 35-140mm, making it compatible with full-frame sensors. This allows for a broader range of shooting needs.
Beautiful Bokeh and Precise Adjustment Features
With a bright open T-stop of 2.9 and 13 aperture blades, it achieves natural and rich bokeh. The focus ring has a rotation angle of 240°, allowing for precise and delicate focus adjustments, making it ideal for professional video production.
