Thrifty Thursday: Save big bucks on cinema lenses, lighting and cameras from Canon, Nikon and Sony
posted Thursday, April 27, 2017 at 9:20 AM EST
To celebrate NAB Show, which closes today in Las Vegas, B&H has a huge amount of ongoing specials on video, lighting, audio, photo and computer equipment and gear.
Rokinon Cine DS lenses
If you’re looking to get started shooting video with your DSLR or mirrorless camera, you might want a cine lens or two, right? How about four cine lenses for well under $2,000? Rokinon’s popular Cine DS lenses are available in four-lens bundles for between $1,650 and $1,800. The bundles come with 20mm or 24mm, 35mm, 50mm and 85mm Cine DS lenses designed to cover full-frame sensors. The savings vary depending on the bundle and mount selected, but in some cases range from just under $500 to around $700.
When switching lenses for shooting video, you need to consider exposure and color changes, but the quartet of lenses share the same exposure range and similar optical construction, including multi-layer coating to help prevent glare. Industry standard focus and iris gear rings are in the same position on all of the lenses, helping ensure you never miss a shot because of unfamiliarity with the lens. The focus and iris are manual and the iris ring is declicked to allow for smooth iris pulls during recording. If you’re interested, click the links below to your lens bundle and mount of choice. Keep in mind that these deals won’t last long; they end on April 30 at 11:59 PM EDT.
