Based on the latest in design methods, optical glass, and findings on suppression of reflexes and stray light P+S TECHNIK introduces a new generation of fast prime lenses, the 16Digital lens set. The 16Digital lenses are especially designed for digital cameras with a single 16:9 format 2/3” CMOS sensor and equipped with the P+S TECHNIK Interchangeable Mount System (IMS). Optical parts are designed with support from high quality lens manufacturer LINOS Photonics (formerly Rodenstock). The lenses work especially well for 2D and 3D stereo recording with the SI-2K Digital Cinema Camera System. The prototype optics have already been used to shoot “Bloody Valentine 3D”.
16Digital prime lenses come with easy to read scales (meter or feet scales available), uniform front lens diameter of 60 mm, uniform 0,8 gear rings for focus and iris control and uniform position of exit pupil. Standard follow focus and electronic lens control systems can be used with these lenses. The optical performance is superb, even wide open. Floating elements keep the optical performance up all the way to the close-focusing limit. Distortion is well controlled, especially with the wider angle lenses, where it counts most. 16Digital primes are particularly robust and easy to service.
The 16Digital prime lenses range from 8 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm, 25 mm, 35 mm to 50 mm. The prototypes have been demonstrated publicly at the NAB 2009 exhibition in Las Vegas. The very new 8mm lens gets launched at IBC 2009, thus the complete set of P+S TECHNIK16Digital primes is available to customers from now on.
The new product line 16Digital is designed to cover the needs of the uprising market for cost-effective digital 2/3” single chip CMOS sensor cameras and so far includes the SI-2K Digital Cinema Camera System, the 16Digital lens set and solutions for file-based post production workflow efficiency.
