A fresh approach to 35mm optics for Cinéma Vérité style production
Sony presents an original approach to 35mm optical systems design for still & motion picture shooting. With the DSLR revolution
came a dramatic increase of still photography lenses for motion picture production use. Widely established still photography lens
systems designs are highly optimized for still shooting, but frequently lack important features for motion picture production. With
the E-Mount, Sony launched a different approach to lens design that gives equal importance to motion picture production. Jon
Fauer, award-winning director and cinematographer, author of more than a dozen best-selling books on cinematography and
digital imaging, will discuss with session presenters Motoyuki Ohtake of Sony, and Richard Schleuning of Carl Zeiss.
