(INSERT SINGLE HERO IMAGE HERE - other images below in media section)
These rare 16mm format cinema lenses were designed and built by Kowa for Cinema Products. They are very fast, and they produce sharp images with very well controlled aberrations. Focus breathing is extremely well controlled, and close focus distances are solid. Wide open, Bokeh is very smooth on these lenses, and even in S16, you can easily separate subject from background. Lens flares are beautiful thanks to the purple and amber coatings.
