4k LENS

The former is the most difficult to contend with in optical design and is a consequence of each wavelength of light having a different magnification. The image sensor in the camera can read this as misregistration between the various wavelengths which can cause color fringing on image transitions, and when added to the four monochromatic aberrations, this constitutes what are collectively called the aggregate defocusing distortions that impair lens MTF – especially at the wider aperture settings (shown for a hypothetical 4K lens in Figure 11).

CINEMA EOS LENSES
|
The spectral transmittance design of this new generation cine lens family employed the principles of the Color Contribution Index (CCI). This is a methodology developed in the era of motion picture film cinematography which indicates the amount of color variation within a specific film imaging system, caused by different lens transmittance characteristics. This is a topic too complex to fully examine in this paper.

Canon Sumire Prime Demo Reel
|
Cinematographer Matt Porwoll shows off the beautiful look of Canon's new Sumire Prime lenses in this demo footage. The seven new lenses in the Sumire (pronounced 'Soo-mee-ray') Prime series provide smooth skin tones, gentle focus fall-off and the same warm color science consistent with all Canon cinema lenses.

CINEMA EOS LENSES

1. Constant Optical Speed between lenses (if possible) 2. Constant Color Reproduction (precise color matching) 3. Constant Sharpness (and higher sharpness than traditional zooms) 4. Minimum Flare and Ghosting A very specific design goal for the Cinema EOS cine zoom lenses was to achieve an overall optical performance that would equate with the best of contemporary prime lenses and to maintain that performance over their respective focal lengths. Achieving these goals imparts an unusual element to the performance “personality” of these lenses.

CINEMA EOS LENSES
|
Discourses on lens “personality” are probably best done at a bar because the conversation can sometimes become lengthy and, at times, convoluted. One certainly does regularly hear about the importance of optical artifacts and aberrations in imparting a certain desired look for some specific scenes. At the same time, one also hears of the enduring importance of sharpness, contrast, color reproduction and other core attributes of high quality imagery.

CINEMA EOS LENSES
|
As discussed in our last Session #3 – the spectral transmittance of a lens is shaped to achieve a desired color reproduction in association with the digital cine camera. That transmittance characteristic defines the optical signal transmittance efficiency at each wavelength.
