As we posted previously, all the product releases we were expecting were already posted prior to NAB, so there’s really no surprises here. For the most part, the next few posts will be a collection of photos from the show floor, with more to come…

FINALLY! Schneider’s 18mm Xenon-FF prime in the wild and performing very well. Although slightly slower than the other Xenons at T2.4. (worth the wait)

18mm Xenon FF prime sample. Great edge to edge sharpness, low distortion, same size and shape as the other Xenon primes.
That wraps up day one at NAB for us. We’ll be back tomorrow with a lot more content from the show floor.
”…the Arri 28mm Anamorphic Prime – almost no distortion at a 2X squeeze??” Ah – but isn’t distortion what anamorphics are all about, lol?! All joking aside, great work guys, these articles chock-full-of-wish-list-stuff are what keep me going through the dark nights. The P+S Technik 35-70mm Anamorphic Zoom (Oh YES!) and the Bokkelux Apochromatic prime right there at the top.
There are some other options out there that produce a good amount of distortion. Check out the new SLR Magic 1.3x anamorphic primes. Loads of distortion there. The Arri Master Anamorphics are less about the “look” and more about the actual increased field of view.
