ARRI Impression V filters
ARRI has introduced Impression V filters specifically designed for their Signature Zooms and Primes. These filters help to create a vintage or softer look in certain parts of the frame such as background highlights and skin tones. The set comprises four positive and four negative diopter filters, and they can be easily attached to the back of each lens via a magnetic filter holder. Cinematographers can use these filters to achieve the desired creative look in-camera instead of post-production. The filters are designed to be used at a T1.8 aperture, where the effect is most pronounced and can work on cameras such as the ALEXA 35, Alexa Mini LF, Alexa LF, and ALEXA 65.

DZO Film has announced the release of a new ultra-wide 12-25mm T2.8 cine zoom, which is a new addition to their Pictor Zoom range. This lens is designed for Super 35 sensors, and it is parfocal, making it an ideal choice for cinematographers. The lens is lightweight, weighing only 1.6 kg, and features a 270-degree focus travel, providing ample room for pulling focus. The lens comes in either black or white and has minimal focus breathing, and the 16 blade iris should produce pleasing bokeh. It ships with a native PL mount, and DZO will include a swappable Canon EF mount as well.
