Tribe7 Blackwing7 Prime Lenses:
Purpose-designed for large format motion picture imaging, BLACKWING7 lenses from TRIBE7 represent an entirely new range of tuned optics for contemporary film makers to use within their creative story telling. Tribe7 Blackwing7 Prime Lenses optics exhibit unique imaging properties which arise from the introduction of controlled distortion during the development and manufacturing processes. This lens tuning allows parameters such as sharpness, contrast, roll-off, spherical aberration, field curvature, edge halation and flare to be modified to provide sets of curated optics. This distortion is modular and allows a level of tuneability over key parameters which shape many creative characteristics of the lenses. Many of the design cues for these primes originate in optics manufactured during the 1930 – 1960s.
