Tribe7 Blackwing7 T-Tuned Prime Lenses T1.8-1.9 27,37,47,57,77,137mm SET

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.

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.

Key Highlights:

• Large Format motion picture imaging
• Modular distortion
• Non-linear Iris System
• Unique imaging properties
• T1.9 to T22 Aperture
• PL Mount
• T-Tuned primes*

*TRIBE⁷ BLACKWING⁷ T-Tuned prime lenses feature a “Transient” profile with increased flare and reduced saturation, further exaggerating contrast roll-off to the edge of the frame and providing increased edge halation. This is due to vintage-style, single-coated optics and edge coating. “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.
