About
An interview from the 2015 International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam with Remco Hekker of Schneider Kreuznach. Schneider Optics is known for manufacturing high-performance lenses for all fields of photography, photographic filters, polarizing filters and professional accessories. In this interview Remco talks with us about their Xenon Full Frame Primes and the announcement of Sony E-Mount options & conversion kits.
Schneider-Kreuznach has now added the choice of Sony E-mount to its growing line of 4K Xenon FF-Prime high-resolution digital cinematography lenses. These professional optics are currently offered in 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm focal lengths with 18mm and 135mm coming in 2016.
Made in Germany, and purpose-built for digital cinematography, they are designed for 4K and beyond resolution, and cover a full-frame sensor (36mm x 24mm). All the lenses offer 300-degree barrel rotation, uniform size and weight for quick lens changes, and a 14-blade iris that delivers outstanding bokeh. Each lens is color-matched for consistency and all feature 95mm front threads.
Interchangeable mounts allow Xenon FF-Primes to work optimally well with the Canon 5D Mark III and Nikon D800 in addition to devices with S35 sensors including RED Dragon, Canon C100/C300/C500, Arri Alexa, and Blackmagic Cinema Camera. Now E-mount cameras including F5 and F55 can take advantage of these professional primes.
Sony E-mounts conversion kits will be available separately for those who already own Xenon FF-Primes.
