LEITZ HEKTOR 6 LENS T2.1 SET
18, 25, 35, 50, 73, 100mm

truly brought early 1900's character to a small modern lens design.

The Hektors keep the best vintage qualities, like dynamic flares, edge curvature & fall off, and stunning bokeh. Without the tradeoffs like chromatic aberration, sharpness loss, and veiling glare.

These are seriously some of the most unique and striking compact primes we've ever seen.

The full frame Hektors fit any e-mount mirrorless camera, and go especially well on the Ronin 4D. Their 120° focus rotation creates a smooth focus pull, despite their small size.

Hand built in Germany. Now available in Nashville!

REVAR CINE DONUT DIOPTERS & WORMHOLE

New trippy filter alert! The Donut and Wormhole effects filters are now available.

Sharp in the center, chaos on the edges. Creating circular distortions, bending, and artifacts that feel straight out of a dream sequence.

We appreciate that the effects are bold, but not gimmicky. Stylized without feeling cheap.

The 138mm glass slides into a 4x5.65 filter tray adapter to work in any matte box.

138mm Donut Diopters:
37mm +1, +2
49mm +1, +2

138mm Wormhole:
30mm
52mm

APUTURE STORM 1200X CINE KIT

Tech moves fast, and it’s hard to know when an upgrade really matters. But the .lighting STORM 1200X is one fixture that’s earning its hype.

The new BLAIR five-color engine takes the X-series beyond bi-color into full-spectrum territory. Cleaner skin tones, richer color, and fewer green / magenta shifts to fight in the image.

On the usability side, the compact F12 fresnel and locking Bowens mount make the 1200X genuinely convenient on set. And for a fixture this bright and punchy, the low-end dimming is impressive all the way down to 0.1% with no noticeable color shift.

The STORM series also includes the pro features we’ve come to expect from Aputure, like IP65 weather protection and wireless control via CRMX and Sidus Link.

It’s a versatile, capable light that’s earning its place on set.
