Vantage 6 Mm Attachment for Nikon 8 Mm Fisheye
VANTAGE 6 MM ATTACHMENT FOR NIKON 8 MM FISHEYE The Vantage 6 mm Attachment converts the Nikon 8 mm Fisheye into a lens with a 220° angle of view. This perspective is so extreme, the lens actually looks backwards on the edges of the frame. The front glass diameter measures 225 mm/8.8” and it weighs a total of 2.6 kg/5.6 lbs. This makes the Vantage 6mm Fisheye Attachment one of the largest optical elements ever produced for motion picture image capture, and its existence alone is an impressive example of Vantage’s capabilities as a lens producer. Resulting Focal Length 6 mm Resulting T-Stop 2.8 Cfd 0.27m / 11˝ Image Format 35 mm Weight 5 kg / 10.9 lbs Including Nikon 8 mm Front Diameter Ø 236 mm Internal Filters Ø 40.5 mm Made in Germany by Vantage Film GmbH For further information contact Vantage Film, Phone +49 961 26795, www.vantagefilm.com VANTAGE 0.7x REDUCER When shooting with a Century Series 2000 Mk2 Periscope wide open, the lens has a T-Stop of T4. Combine this lens with the Vantage 0.7x Reducer and the T-Stop of the Periscope changes to T2.8 with noticeably improved picture quality. The Vantage 0.7x Reducer can be combined with many telephoto lenses and periscopes. By attaching a 0.7x Reducer, the image size will be reduced, but aberrations will also be reduced. Therefore, the lens with the reducer attached will perform better than the original lens. For decades, only 1.4x or 2x Extenders were available.

Despite the less-is-more mantra of the purists who encourage a limited gear collection as a way to reduce distraction, each new camera release seems to attract familiar symptoms of Gear Acquisition Syndrome. - the unfounded desire to have the latest and the greatest. Is it wrong that we simply desire to advance our abilities through the purchase of these items? They may be unnecessary, but new gear promotes fresh enthusiasm for our art; the hope that our next picture will be better than our last.

BEAU PHOTO SUPPLIES INC. FEBRUARY 2007 NEWSLETTER Looking for a special kind of light! The Illuminata offers that and a lot more! What is the Illuminata! Iťs an Octobox that offers a even, soft quality of light which is very pleasing for your portrait photography. It also offers a circular catch-light in your subjecťs eyes, which is a much more natural shape than the rectangle you get from a traditional soft box. Want to change the quality of light again? Remove the front baffle and you punch up the contrast, yet you still have a soft diffused light. Not 100% convinced. Come on in and have a look at the images Mike shot at our Profoto night on the H3D. Still not convinced? You can rent it from our rental department and if you buy it we will take a one day rental cost off the price of the Octobox if you buy within 30 days. Finally, there is no better time to buy because we have put them on sale. Medium 52”. Illuminata Reg. $299.95 Sale $269.95 The new Lensbaby G3 is back in stock! We were out of stock of the new G3 for a while but they’re back so let me tell you about them. The new “G3” is the coolest addition to the Lensbabies family and comes with many new features.

November 2008 BEAU NEWS Photographic Pulp NOVEMBER LENSBABY SALE The good people at Lensbaby have allowed us to lower our lensbaby prices for the month of November. So for a short time a good deal is a lot better! In case you don’t know what a Lensbaby is, it’s a selective focus lens (camera accessory)that allows you to choose where the plane of focus is going to fall on your film or image sensor. Simply put, it is a fun way to play with the focus of the picture you are taking, making some parts of the image sharp while the others soft. You will be amazed with the great photos you will get playing with these babies. With a lensbaby your photographs are a little different and maybe just a little bit better than the competition.

Backup of 2014 Update Backup of Lensbaby Class Lesson 1 Copy
Lensbaby Magic Lesson 1 “When subject matter is forced to fit into preconceived patterns, there can be no freshness of vision.” -Edward Weston Welcome to my Lensbaby Magic Class! The Basics Craig Strong invented the Lensbaby when he was trying to find a different look for his images. He was looking for a way to be able to do this in-camera, instead of spending hours sitting at his computer. He wanted to combine the soft, imperfect look produced by Holga film cameras, with the convenience of digital imagery. He says that the Lensbaby he developed gave him some options to match a certain mood in a theme, or to render an image the way he envisioned it. With the trend these day being the most refined, precise, high speed automatic lenses, the Lensbaby is a refreshing Lensbaby Magic Kathleen Clemons 1 step backwards. It’s sort of an odd combination of an old, manual focus lens where you had to do it right the first time, and a modern day video game joystick. The original lens models are mounted on a plastic bellows, which allows you to manually focus by pushing, pulling and bending. A selected part of your image will be in focus, and you control just where that ‘sweet spot” of focus will be by manipulating either the bellows section (the part that looks like vacuum cleaner hose) on the Muse and the original models, or the focus ring on the Composer, which has a ball and socket type design. The remaining areas of your image are softly and gradually blurred, creating unique, eye-catching images.
