Description

The Brilliant Macro +2 attachment lens is specifically designed to be used with both cine prime lenses and cine zoom lenses. Consequently, focus is maintained throughout the zoom range, ensuring extremely sharp zoom macro shots.

Moreover, Brilliant Macro Lenses are intended to work seamlessly with cine prime lenses by Cooke, Leica, Schneider, and Zeiss, in addition to compact zooms by Canon, Zeiss, Sigma, Tokina, and others. When paired with a high-quality compact zoom, the image remains in focus across the entire zoom range, thus providing a new dimension to macro cinematography. Compact and lightweight, Brilliant Macro Lenses are crafted to easily attach to the base lens through a suite of available adapters.

Furthermore, Lindsey Optics Brilliant Macro attachment lenses are optimized for use with digital formats up to Full Frame (24 x 36mm). They perform even better with smaller formats, such as Super 35, thus providing enhanced versatility for various setups.

In combination with a Cooke 5i T1.4 lens, the Brilliant Macro Lenses allow large aperture macro cinematography, thereby unlocking new creative possibilities by utilizing the shallow depth of field produced by the large aperture.

Notably, the Brilliant Macro’s 3-element air-spaced design, which uses exotic optical glass, offers performance that far exceeds that of two-element achromatic doublets. Thanks to this unique design, the lenses can also be stacked to achieve extremely high magnifications.

In addition, Brilliant Macro lenses do not suffer from light loss when working within the macro range. Therefore, a T2.0 prime lens combined with a Brilliant Macro lens maintains the T2.0 system, ensuring no light loss.

While the Brilliant Macro Lens cannot directly improve the performance of the base lens, it can significantly enhance the overall resolution when paired with a high-quality lens. Specifically, the macro adapter achieves resolution up to 120 lp/mm, given that the base lens is of sufficient quality.

Brilliant Macro Lenses are offered in three strengths: +1, +2, and +3. By selecting the appropriate combination of base lens focal length and Brilliant Macro strength, users are given complete creative control over object size, working distance, and perspective within the macro space.

As a result, extreme close focus can now be easily achieved without the chromatic aberrations or loss of sharpness typically seen with lesser solutions.

Finally, mounting adapters are readily available to attach the Brilliant Macro lenses to a variety of professional cinematography lenses. Additionally, custom adapters can be provided upon request, ensuring a perfect fit for any setup.
