NEW ZEISS DIGIWIDE 3.9MM LENS

The new ZEISS DigiPrime® 3.9mm SuperWide T1.9 is the widest lens in the DigiPrime arsenal.

The new 3.9mm approximates a 10mm focal length in 35mm cine. The new Carl Zeiss DigiPrime® 3.9mm Superwide T1.9 offers an extremely wide field of vision with unprecedented image clarity. Unlike wide-angle zooms (which tend to exhibit a great deal of barrel distortion at their short end), the 3.9mm Superwide has been engineered to eliminate geometric distortion. In 4:3 format the lens’ angle of view is 98.2 degrees horizontal, 81 degrees vertical, and 111.8 degrees diagonal. In 16:9 format the angle of view is 103.6 degrees horizontal, 70 degrees vertical, and 111.8 degrees diagonal. Color fringing is minimized as well, which means this lens can be used for CGI work with minimal correction in post production. The ZEISS 3.9mm Superwide is ideal for maintaining natural looking perspectives when working with miniatures.

Look for it by December 2005 from Band Pro.
