Optical accessories from Cinema Technologies

By Sergey Gorodnev

Under the whole nomenclature width of auxiliary shooting equipment produced by Cinema Technologies Group company (from cameramen rails to telescopic camera cranes and system of the camera and camcorder remote controls), this company also supports once more important production sector — the optical accessories.

At present Cinema Technologies manufactures the optical accessories for lenses of camcorders for video journalism and outside studio production. These optical products many operators have used under Lenz-Art mark as far back as in 1993.

I think, there is no need to tell about purpose of the different optical accessories types. I should like to consider some fine points only.

If there is the standard mid-focusing lens now, and we have not any possibility or desire to pay high price for wide-angle or long-focusing optics, then can be bought an extension, which compensates the lacking possibility of the lens.

However it is necessary to understand that economy in finance can turn to end up losing in weight and size.

Regrettably, the nature of the optical process will not defraud so produced at present all over the world optical accessories, converters, protective glasses have almost the same optical scheme and, as effect, similar size and weight. The main differences are in glass grade, bloomed lens type and casing material. As a rule, all optical accessories for professional lens are fixed on frontal part of lens, instead of blind. If lens has a frontal diameter less than 65 mm, it is possible to install these accessories on filter thread.

The main features of Cinema Technologies products are as follows:

• Affordable price;
• The package: all accessories and converters are packed in suitable soft covers and shockproof casings;
• Service maintenance.
