TRIBE7 Blackwing X-Fall Off / T-Flare Full Frame Lenses
X-Fall Off: X-tune are the lowest contrast 10 variant of the BLACKWING7 lens range. Further exaggerated edge halation, with a minor degree of spherical aberration and focal plane curvature increases the perception of a shallower depth of field. X-tuned optics have selective edge-uncoating to reduce contrast under hard lighting conditions. They are designed for film makers who light minimally and favour lenses which can create smooth, almost ethereal images.
T-Tune Flare: T lenses have a unique personality and are designed to render a slightly softer, more artistic image, with a higher degree of light reactivity and more vibrant flaring characteristic due to the use of vintage-style single-coated optics.
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. BLACKWING7 optics exhibit unique imaging properties which arise from the introduction of controlled distortion during the development and manufacturing processes. This distortion is modular and allows a level of tuneability over key parameters which shape many creative characteristics of the lenses.
The lens range comprises a core set of 6 focal lengths – with three tuning options per focal length, configurable at point of manufacture.
BLACKWING7 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 to suit the personality and intent of the owner.
Many of the design cues for BLACKWING7 primes originate in optics manufactured during the 1930 - 1960s, but the real inspiration behind the lenses lies in the evolutionary nature of experimental music and audio synthesis, and the process of creating distortion through sound amplification.
Note: All lenses cover fully cover Medium Format (FUJIFILM GFX100 / GFX ETERNA) except the 20.7mm.
