InnoVision Lens Port 3
Description:
InnoVision’s tubular lenses: the Probe I, Probe II and Probe II Plus offer today’s cameraperson the ability to shoot in places a camera has never been before. Whether you are shooting a simple product shot and you want to make a soup can look like a rocket ship, or you are shooting a single aspirin tablet and you want to show the texture of the pill, we have a lens that will do the job.
Probe IProbe I’s unique design incorporates a 19” long by 1.3” diameter lens barrel which lets you move further inside or closer along-side a product than with conventional lenses. Now you can shoot over, under, around & through objects with extreme depth of field. The Probe lens system offers viewing in either direct or 90° angles. Available in 35mm film and Video/16mm versions, both provide interchangeable front objectives in a variety of focal lengths. This lens is best suited for general purpose tabletop work including food and product where higher t-stops are not a problem. The Probe I lenses were Innovision’s First tubular lens completely designed for Film and video use. The optics are much larger in diameter, allowing a much lower t-stop when compared to a 6000 series lens.
Probe IIInnovision’s Probe II is developed especially for shooters whose projects require long tubular lenses and higher resolution images. The Probe II features high resolution glass elements and relay optics for images with remarkable edge-to-edge sharpness, flat field, and extreme depth of field. State-of-the-art multiple coatings provide sharp, low dispersion images. Using a completely new Optical and mechanical design, the Probe II lenses allow for even larger internal glass elements that give faster speeds than previous lenses. Probe II is currently the most popular tabletop lens and is available from major rental houses all over the world. Probe II lenses are waterproof to within 1/2” of the focus ring.
Probe II PlusInnoVision’s newest lens, the Probe II Plus offers superior optics and light transmission for ultra-high resolution, while the system’s unique periscope attachment lets operators shoot from an ultra-low perspective. The Probe II Plus is available in interchangeable Straight and 90° Periscope attachments. Completely waterproof to the focus ring, the Probe II Plus is ideal for feature films and hi def production.
