The Sigma Cine lens showcase at the Los Angeles edition of Cine Gear Expo will be complemented with educational Sigma presentations offered throughout the exhibition.
Sigma is going to be present at Cine Gear Expo 2019 with all its cinema lenses, a total of 13 references. The Sigma FF High Speed Prime, Sigma Cine FF Zoom Line and Sigma Cine High Speed Zoom will be on show during the two days of the event. The most recent additions to the series, the 28mm T1.5, 40mm T1.5, and 105mm T1.5 prime lenses will also be available for this hands-on showcase of Sigma Cine lenses. Visit booth 71A to see them.
Besides the lenses on display Sigma has prepared educational Sigma presentations offered throughout the exhibition that will allow showgoers to discover more about the whole family of Sigma Cine lenses. The first session, Lens Projection Master Class, happens May 31, at 1:30PM, at the Chrosziel Booth – L401. This session will touch on the special needs of digital cinematography such as the OLPF in many cameras and the influence it can have on lenses such as depth of focus, field curvature and optical performance.
