Accessories for Cine-Xenar lenses and sales partnership with Schneider-Kreuznach ISCO Division
Chrosziel announces that it will sell the new Cine-Xenar lenses from Schneider-Kreuznach in Germany and internationally. A complete set of Chrosziel accessories will be offered with the Cine-Xenar lenses. The package includes: 5 lenses, LightWeight Support, MatteBox, DSW©® Direct Swing-Away-System, Follow Focus and a case, for a substantial savings of several thousand Euros.
The set with lenses of 25, 35, 50, 75 and 90 mm focal lengths, MatteBox 456 Academy Double, Bellows with Light Prevention Tube, DSW©®500 Adapter, LWS LightWeight Support for FGV 7D-PL, Studio Rig Cine Single follow focus with focus gear for Cine-Xenar and the transport-trolley-case sells for only EUR 18,450 (Art. no. CX-5PLMAKIT), compared to EUR 21,375 for individual purchase. Furthermore, the case is already prepared for the upcoming 18 mm Cine-Xenar lens.
The set for the original Canon EOS 7D costs EUR 18,560. The slightly higher price accounts for a lens support in order to relieve pressure on the EF-S mount.
Of course, the accessories designed specifically for the Cine-Xenar lenses are available individually as well. These are the Bellows with Light Prevention Tube (Art. no. 410-104, EUR 155), which fits into the MatteBox, and the Cine-Xenar Focus Drive (Art. no. 201-24, EUR 65) featuring a width of 26mm to compensate for the focus travel. Once properly aligned, the MatteBox and Follow Focus remain unchanged when switching lenses.
A very important feature, besides the excellent picture quality of the Cine-Xenar lenses, is their telecentric design, which ensures even illumination across the entire sensor. And 12, 14 and up to 18 iris blades in the lenses guarantee a unique bokeh. “All remarkable for this price,” states a Chrosziel spokesman.
Additional sets for Red cameras and ARRI Alexa will be presented by Chrosziel at the Cinec show (Stand 3-A1) September 18th to 20th in Munich.
All prices without tax, ex works Heimstetten / Munich.
