Every day until our Cine Gear Wrap Party and Open House we are going to give you another reason to stop by and check out our newest gear. Today’s reason: the @ancientoptics STATERA 30mm T2.1.

This is currently the widest prime in the STATERA family. It’s sharp, yet flattering, and has excellent edge performance and the perfect amount of barrel distortion for anamorphic lenses of this style. Close focus is an impressive 1’ 7” which is better than just about anything comparable to it. Flares are unreal. Bokeh is stunning. It’s one of the most beautiful wide angle anamorphic lenses…ever. You have to see it in-person, especially framing a closeup with it.

This amazing lens and many more will be available to check out at our Cine Gear Wrap Party & Open House, June 7, from 2:00-8:00pm at Old Fast Glass. We will have food, drinks, coffee, ice cream, and 2 lens bars!

Every day until our Cine Gear Wrap Party and Open House we are going to give you another reason to stop by and check out our newest gear. Today’s reason: the Kinoptik Tegea 9.8mm T2.3, beautifully rehoused by @zerooptik for @ancientoptics

This is one of the widest vintage lenses available. The new Zero Optik housing is a masterpiece - as beautiful as it is functional. This lens is surprisingly sharp with almost no distortion, and an incredible close focus. It has a slightly dreamy character wide open that no modern lens can replicate. You have to see it to believe it.

Come test out this lens and so many more at our Cine Gear Wrap Party & Open House, June 7, from 2:00-8:00pm at Old Fast Glass. We will have food, drinks, coffee, ice cream, and 2 lens bars!

Every day until our Cine Gear Wrap Party and Open House we are going to give you another reason to stop by and check out our newest gear. Since we missed yesterday, we will give you 2 reasons today! This is the brand new Zeiss B-Speed 14mm T1.4. This one was a collaboration between @ancientoptics and @gl_optics and is the follow-up to the 135mm T2.2 B-Speed we announced recently. Both lenses expand on the original 5-lens set, and both feature the B-Speeds’ unique triangular iris. So now you have a uniform, perfectly matched, unique set of vintage optics from 14mm to 135mm.

The lenses have internal focus, improved close focus, expanded focus scales, matching gear positions, and rock-solid, reliable mechanics. Wide open, the lenses create a more traditional, vintage textured aesthetic. The triangular iris does not reveal its character until you stop down. Around T2, T2/2.8 split is the sweet spot if you like the look of rounded triangular bokeh. It’s really special.

The lenses have Zeiss’ legendary vintage leaded glass, and T* coatings. The lenses deliver very flattering skin tones, and lens flares are beautiful without overwhelming the image. They are truly stunning lenses.

Stop by and test them out at our Cine Gear Wrap Party & Open House, June 7, from 2:00-8:00pm at Old Fast Glass. We will have food, drinks, coffee, ice cream, and 2 lens bars!

𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗢𝗣𝗧𝗜𝗞 𝗧𝗘𝗚𝗘𝗔 𝟵.𝟴𝗺𝗺 - This revolutionary wide-angle lens was one of Stanley Kubrick's favorite lenses, famously used to shoot scenes in A Clockwork Orange (1971) and The Shining (1980); both films photographed by DP John Alcott, BSC.

The TEGEA 9.8mm T2.3 (f/1.8) is one of the widest rectilinear lenses ever made. This lens shows no distortion, which is amazing considering its age and extreme wide field of view.

The lens was originally designed for the 35mm format but easily covers super 35. Now revived through the efforts of @ancientoptics in collaboration with @zerooptik , this iconic lens is ready to be rediscovered by a new generation of filmmakers.

It is sharp with minimal flaring when bright point light sources are present. Contrast and flares become more controlled when stopped down. The lens shows virtually no focus breathing, and Zero Optik improved the close focus to just an inch away from the front element.

It's construction features nine elements in six groups with sophisticated aspherical elements and exotic rare materials like lanthanum and fluorite glass.

It pairs well with many vintage lenses like Kowa Prominars, Cooke Panchros, Zeiss Super Speeds, Super Baltars, Canon Rangefinders, and many more.

You can compare the KINOPTIK TEGEA side by side at different T-stops to over 120 lens sets in our CINEFLARES PRO lens library.

The lens was originally designed for the 35mm format but easily covers super 35. Now revived through the efforts of @ancientoptics in collaboration with @zerooptik , this iconic lens is ready to be rediscovered by a new generation of filmmakers.

It is sharp with minimal flaring when bright point light sources are present. Contrast and flares become more controlled when stopped down. The lens shows virtually no focus breathing, and Zero Optik improved the close focus to just an inch away from the front element.

It's construction features nine elements in six groups with sophisticated aspherical elements and exotic rare materials like lanthanum and fluorite glass.

It pairs well with many vintage lenses like Kowa Prominars, Cooke Panchros, Zeiss Super Speeds, Super Baltars, Canon Rangefinders, and many more.

You can compare the KINOPTIK TEGEA side by side at different T-stops to over 120 lens sets in our CINEFLARES PRO lens library.

This one gave me sleepless nights for sure...
The brief from @jjlogue was big 80’s nostalgia with heaps of colour and contrast - but we had to achieve this day for night and couldn’t blackout the enormous space due to the height of the roof, time and budget.

With @mattsbeggs and @michael_bespalov we decided on a 20x20 blackout lid that would reduce the direct sun from the shot area but I was acutely aware that to retain saturation on the colour, we needed even less daylight than that so I said to Matty that we needed a big over-powering ‘counter colour’ like pink to offset the daylight coming in so we decided on a ARRI 18k through a 20x20 half grid with doubled pink gel. I then underexposed the camera by 4 stops and cooled the camera to 3400K (this fluctuated shot by shot) to skew all the daylight in a deeper blue that could be interpreted as moonlight. I was heaps nervous that the image capture would suffer so I decided to rate the camera at 400 ISO to reduce the noise floor and gain extra information/dynamic range in shadows to help @alinabermingham have a better image to work with (Alina killed it too).

Josh and I were super keen to shoot anamorphic but it couldn't be 2x as our deliverables were 2:1 and 1:1. I’ve been pretty underwhelmed by most 1.5x or 1.33x sets I’ve tested until I found the Statera’s by @old_fast_glass @ancientoptics from @thefront118

The Statera's are insane. The barrel distortion was pleasing, no pin cushioning (GAME OVER for me if ana’s have it), no fish bowl effect, powerful petzval style character that took us rapidly to 2x characteristics, fast aperture and golden coatings meant that I’m now a bit obsessed with them.

This one gave me sleepless nights for sure...
The brief from @jjlogue was big 80’s nostalgia with heaps of colour and contrast - but we had to achieve this day for night and couldn’t blackout the enormous space due to the height of the roof, time and budget.

With @mattsbeggs and @michael_bespalov we decided on a 20x20 blackout lid that would reduce the direct sun from the shot area but I was acutely aware that to retain saturation on the colour, we needed even less daylight than that so I said to Matty that we needed a big over-powering ‘counter colour’ like pink to offset the daylight coming in so we decided on a ARRI 18k through a 20x20 half grid with doubled pink gel. I then underexposed the camera by 4 stops and cooled the camera to 3400K (this fluctuated shot by shot) to skew all the daylight in a deeper blue that could be interpreted as moonlight. I was heaps nervous that the image capture would suffer so I decided to rate the camera at 400 ISO to reduce the noise floor and gain extra information/dynamic range in shadows to help @alinabermingham have a better image to work with (Alina killed it too).

Josh and I were super keen to shoot anamorphic but it couldn't be 2x as our deliverables were 2:1 and 1:1. I’ve been pretty underwhelmed by most 1.5x or 1.33x sets I’ve tested until I found the Statera’s by @old_fast_glass @ancientoptics from @thefront118

The Statera's are insane. The barrel distortion was pleasing, no pin cushioning (GAME OVER for me if ana’s have it), no fish bowl effect, powerful petzval style character that took us rapidly to 2x characteristics, fast aperture and golden coatings meant that I’m now a bit obsessed with them.

Vintage soul and the ideal old glass to get a more classic film look. It is the perfect zoom lens to match with the K35s and Canon FDs 🏋️‍♀️🎥.

It also covers full frame!

🔍1. The Ancient Optics — Canon FD 50-300mm T4.9 Ø136 — GL Optics Rehouse
🔍2. Light-weight camera setup
🔍3. Sony Venice
🔍4. Cmotion Cvolution Pan Bar Zoom MKII for those smooth controlled zooms.
🔍5. Arri FF-5 follow focus, for when the budget cannot afford a remote follow focus
🔍6. Arri LMB Mattebox with swing-away
🔍7. Gen Energy, V-lock mount batteries

Why people book it:
• classic Canon warmth
• flattering contrast without feeling crunchy
• huge range = fewer swaps, faster days

Real-world example 👇
Used on scenes from The Home Straight, paired with documentary material shot on a Sony FX3 and additional FD photo lenses. A smooth and cohesive match. No drama.

The CineAlta line, in this case the Sony Venice matched with the Sony Fx3 has been one of the most versatile A and B camera combos for dual camera shows. These cameras embrace the beautiful sony colour science, the flexible dual base iso and the multiple options for data quality.

Translation:
🎬 cinematic A-cam
🏃 lightweight killer B-cam options.
💅 grades together beautifully

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
