Popular Equipment

£75.00Our Fujinon’s MK zoom series offers high quality cinematography lens features and functionality in a native Sony E-mount design for your versatile shooting needs. The MK zooms are particularly suited for use with Super35 format E-mount cameras such as the Sony FS7, as well as the Sony FX3 & FX6, when configured for Super35 shooting modes. They are also very lightweight and compact, so useful for handheld and documentary style shooting where minimising weight is an advantage.

This lens comes with both straight and periscope front elements that can be easily changed. The periscope version also features LED lights near the front lens, it can be freely rotated, and is waterproof as well.
Sony 90mm f2.8 G Macro Lens
£90.00Who doesn’t love macro shots? The Sony 90mm is Sony’s most versatile macro lenses, with built in image stabilization, focus lock and its very own floating focus mechanism, offering outstanding clarity throughout the image area, from infinity to the closest focusing distance.
Sony 18-110mm f4 G Master Zoom Lens
£40.00Sony’s Super 35mm / APS-C format version of its FE 28-135mm F4 OSS lens. This version doesn’t have the the sluggish fly by wire zoom making it better for crash zooming when in manual. We do like that about this lens, however it is better suited for PXW FS7s over the full frame PXW FX9 because of its crop factor. This lens will work on PXW FX6 however only in HD mode, not 4K.
In short this is a great ob-doc standard lens but do check it is suitable for your choice of camera.
