Ever thought about using Medium Format glass for filming?
"Interstellar" and "The Dark Knight Rises" do so on IMAX cameras.
Mamiya 645 lenses are surprisingly affordable and future proof in a market trending toward larger sensors... and they look absolutely gorgeous. A real alternative for modern Mirrorless Full Frame hybrids, for Large Format cine cams like the Arri Alexa 65 and Alexa LF, the RED Monstro, Sony Venice and the MAVO LF... but also for any other sensor size including Micro Four Thirds.

We are having an extensive look on the primes of Mamiya 645 Sekor C range using the Panasonic GH5 and EVA1, as well as the 35mm Full Frame sensor MAVO LF introducing a Kipon Focal Reducer that enables us to use the whole image of Medium Format lenses... giving you crazy shallow Depth Of Field and mind boggling amounts of light.

We are testing: Sharpness, field of view, focus breathing, Bokeh, flaring, close focus, throughout the range on different sensor sizes with and without Speed Boosters.

We also give practical tips including cine-modding, service and repairs.
