It’s 2012 and while there still aren’t any flying cars (well, there’s this, but it looks lame) we do have a couple of new lenses available here at Visual Edge that are perfect for your DSLR, F3 or C300. First up is the very nice and handy Nikon 28-70:
The lens covers that critical range for interviews, allowing for a zoom in or out on an interview subject without having to reposition the camera, and is fast for a zoom at a constant f2.8. We had the lens checked out by Matthew Duclos of Duclos Lenses before he gave it one of his superb cine-mods and he declared that the “contrast and resolution are excellent” and the “overall image quality of your lens is what I would consider high”. The lens has a manual aperture and while it does have a Nikon F mount it can be used on the Canon 5DMkII or the Sony PMW-F3.
Another fun new addition is the Rokinon 8mm Fisheye, also in a Nikon mount:
We picked this up because, well, it’s fun. While the lens will not cover the full frame Canon 5DMkII it perfectly covers the sensor on the Sony PMW-F3 and can create a really fun shot, as you can see at the end of this video:
We’re looking forward to a great 2012 with a bunch of new cameras and accessories on the way and we’re looking forward to working with you. Feel free to give us a call, drop us an email or, heck, go all 20th century and send us a regular old letter.
