The Schneider Xenon FF Prime Cine-Tilt 100mm T2.1 Sony E-Mount Lens marked in feet is designed to intercut with the Schneider FF Primes. However, it incorporates ±4° of tilt adjustment enabling you to change the focus plane of the lens. FF stands for full-frame, and every lens in the set covers a full frame image sensor without vignetting and is designed for 4K image capture. This lens is color-matched to a standard at the factory, minimizing color shift when changing lenses. It features a 14-blade iris, providing natural looking Bokeh, with circular out of focus highlights, and 300° of lens barrel rotation. The 100mm shares the same focus and iris gear position, as well as the same 100mm front barrel diameter with the other lenses in the Xenon FF line of lenses.
The lens features a barrel with a large circumference, providing wide spacing for focus marks. Opposing focus scales provide properly oriented focus marks on both sides, so an assistant can pull focus from either side of the lens. The lens features gears for focus, iris, and tilt, which allow you to adjust each using industry standard lens accessories. The 100mm features two lens supports.
4K/Full Frame
The lenses are designed to cover a full-sized image sensor and provide 4K resolution for image capture.
Focus Tilt
Designed to allow ±4° of tilt, which allows you to shift the focus plane of the lens. This enables keeping subjects in focus that are not the same distance from the camera's image plane without having to close down the iris and increase depth of field. When the tilt is set to 0°, the lens functions the same as a standard FF Prime Cine lens.
Working Practice
The lens physically shifts as you adjust the tilt angle, and because of this movement the simplest set up is to use a Cine Tilt lens with a Sony A7 series camera, as the lens can be mounted directly to support rods using the two lens supports and the camera then mounted directly to lens and not secured to a baseplate. This will allow the camera to "tilt horizontally" and the lens to stay fixed so that rod mounted matte boxes, follow focus units, and lens motors will still work as you change the amount of lens tilt.
Color Matched
The lenses are color matched to a standard ensuring consistent color across lenses. This allows you to purchase additional Xenon FF lenses, as you need, without having to search through multiple lenses trying to assemble a matched set.
Functionality
The lenses share the same physical characteristics across the set, this includes the length, diameter, and focus and iris gear position. This speeds up lens changes in the field, minimizing adjustments to matte boxes and lens accessories.
Focus Barrel Rotation
300° of lens barrel rotation provides for accurate focus adjustments throughout the range.
Tilt Barrel Rotation
120° of rotation provides for precise tilt adjustment of the lens throughout the range of -4 to +4°
