Band Pro To Highlight Lens Innovation At IBC

Band Pro Munich, the German subsidiary of Band Pro Film & Digital, will highlight lens innovations at IBC2016, Stand 12.D21.

Now shipping – and available for testing at the show – will be the Raptor prime lenses from German manufacturer IB/E Optics. New 4K demo footage shot exclusively with Raptor primes will be screened at the booth, demonstrating the look and versatility of the macro-to-infinity lens series.

A range of IB/E expanders, extenders, and lens converters will also be on display, allowing cinematographers to utilise their existing glass over a wide array of cameras and sensor sizes.

Band Pro will also feature the latest focal lengths from Leica Summilux-C and Leica Summicron-C lenses, available from CW Sonderoptic.

Amnon Band, Band Pro President and CEO, commented: "We're in a time of transition, with cameras and camera sensors changing fast. You want to capture in 6K, 8K, more K? Sure, no problem. What you really need now is high quality glass that's future-proof and ready to work with the cameras that are coming. Visit us at IBC this year, and you'll see some very interesting steps in that direction."
