NEW!! Scorpiolens Anamorphic Prime Lenses

[ivandamme]

Hey guys, I found this new anamorphic lenses ... information here:

 

The Servicevision Booth was directly across from ours at NAB. Managing Director and Cinematographer Andres Valles surprised me on opening day with a preview of a set of 13 Scorpiolens anamorphic primes to be introduced at IBC in September. He also introduced me to the lens designer, physicist and optical engineer Cristina Alcaide.

The Scorpiolens anamorphics are all 2x squeeze, and all have a slender front diameter of 95 mm. They are T2.0 from 24 through 100 mm. 130 to 260 mm are T2.8. The 300 mm is T3. Average length of the lenses is a mere 6.3 inches. The 24, 28, 150, and 200 mm are 7.5 inches long. The 260 mm is 8.3 inches, and 300 mm is 9.6 inches.

The Scorpiolens 2x anamorphic lenses are expected to exhibit practically no breathing and very little distortion, even at close focus. They will cover up to ANSI Super 35 Silent aperture (31.14 mm diameter). Feet and meter scales can be exchanged. Internal focus keeps the lens a constant length. Telecentric and multi-aspheric design, high resolution, and consistent optical performance are planned over the entire focus range. Servicevision is the largest motion picture rental house and manufacturing facility in Spain. Offices in the US are in North Hollywood. - See more at: http://www.fdtimes.com/2012/04/29/scorpiolens-anamorphic-prime-lenses/#sthash.jTi2HrSd.dpuf

They look beautiful.   And expensive.

Where will these fit in on the price scale?

These are rear anamorphics - so no ovular bokeh/streaks etc.

 

The new Zeiss Anas are front style, so they will have the typical looks, but the Angie zooms are also rear ana elements.

 

Essentially, new Anas with front elements are Zeiss primes only, followed by Hawks and (obviously) Panavision.

The Zeiss have superior optics but seem quite sterile in the looks dept. The clip above is devoid of flares and the squish you normally get during pulls with wide aperture, the later is obviously desirable but seems to be gained through a loss of the more traditional aesthetic.
