New 45-120 T2.8 handholdable Optimo at NAB...

[Jeff Kieffer]

This one looks really interesting.
It covers a very good focal range.

Please report back when you guys get a chance to have a look at it.
Price would be good to know.

 

[James Brundige]

Yes, doubling the Red 300mm.

Is that the Optex doubler you refer to? Does that maintain sharpness?

 

[Dave Blackham]

Why not use Leica Apo x1.4 and x2 doubler in PL. Les Bosher made a set for us, I think it outstrips the Nikkor.

 

[Evin Grant]

The Leica is probably better but I got the Optex (Nikkor TC201 rehoused) at a pretty good deal. As far as sharpness it's fine as long as you start with a very sharp lens to begin with.
Any of the long 2.8 Nikkors, Canons, or the Red 300mm are plenty sharp enough. That said I'd love to see the new 2x Aspheric Nikkor doubler rehoused to PL.

I was fortunate to use this lens unsupervised for 14 hours in Vegas for a test shoot. It was a prototype and not perfect yet, but it certainly has potential. Its so light, and the range is fantastic. Love that lens.

 

[Jeremy Wiles]

The guy from Angenieux at the booth told me the 45-120mm would retail for $55,000.

Mark,
Did the lens "Breathe" while pulling focus or?? Any comments about that lens that you would like to share? Pro/Con

[Timur Civan]

It did not breathe AT ALLLLLLLL. Not one bit.

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

I want to see samples! Please someone.

5k 120mm f/2.6 at 3 feet has to look nice.
