Scorpio Lens anamorphique

18mm, 27mm, 35mm and 65mm Lenses Add Greater Flexibility to Cooke Flagship Primes Range for Cinematographers.

As a follow up to the Fujifilm X-T3 and the Fujinon MK zoom lens tests performed in May 2019, Fujifilm gave the AFC the opportunity to try out its new Fujifilm GFX 100 camera body and the Fujinon Premista 28-100mm zoom lens.

Leitz Cine announces three new lenses in the Leitz Hugo series : 66mm T2.1, 75mm T2.1, and 90mm T2.1.

In late 2018, the AFC, with ENS Louis-Lumière Film School, performed a comparative test of sixty-six lenses from thirty-three different spherical and anamorphic series. We are organizing a blind screening of the results on Tuesday 12 November at 16:00 at the Cinema City, Screening Room N° 12, and Friday 15 November at 13:30 at the Cinema City, Screening Room N° 6.

Leitz Cine expands the Thalia 65 family of extra-large format lenses with a new ultra-wide 20mm focal length. Purpose built for the needs of 65mm film and digital 65 formats, the 11 focal lengths in the Thalia 65 family offer an elegant option for cinematographers looking to push their images further. Ranging from 20mm to 180mm, the lenses are based on Leica’sS medium format glass, which is known for its incredible portraiture, rich color and beautiful skin tones.

To Bruno Nuytten and Caroline Champetier, AFC
Although it might seem an exaggeration, this little wink at Robert Doisneau is the opportunity to remind our readers that over a dozen members of the AFC – and I may not have had the opportunity of recognizing everyone in attendance – attended a nearly-full auditorium on Wednesday, 20 March at 8pm to support Bruno Nuytten at the opening of the retrospective that was dedicated to him at the Cinémathèque française.

Denis Lenoir, AFC, ASC presents the great film lens test which is about be shown in Camerimage for the first time abroad. 33 lenses tested, an unique opportunity to enter the lensing of a scene.

Les dix optiques compactes de focale fixe génèrent des métadonnées et permettent la correction de la distorsion et du shading. Pour la première fois, même les productions à petit budget peuvent exploiter les effets visuels.

In 2019, the AFC hosted several screenings of a comparative test of lenses designed for standard 18 × 24 format. Presented in Paris at the Cercle Rouge and the Louis-Lumière school, in Poland at the Camerimage Festival and in Los Angeles at the E-Film laboratory, the test examined lenses currently available on the market for sale or rental and was, of course, presented without bias or preference of any kind, regardless of the manufacturers or partners participating in the project.
