Popular Equipment
Panasonic Lumix 20mm MFT Mount
£25.00Did someone order the 20mm Pancake?
Our LUMIX G 20mm / F1.7 ASPH is a superb pancake interchangeable lens designed based on the Micro Four Thirds cameras which makes it equivalent to 40mm full frame

The 300 model comes in HDMI, 3G-SDI, and dual I/O varieties and includes a new fan-less receiver design with internal antennas.
Sony 16-35mm f2.8 G Master Zoom Lens
£40.00G Master performance in a wide-angle F2.8 16-35mm zoom
Perfect applications being for landscapes, Ronin gimbals (when you want face tracking auto focus) or when you want a beautifully shallow non-sync wide shot.
Samyang 24mm T1.5 Wide Angle Prime Lens
£25.00Samyang 24mm T1.5 II is a full frame, fully manual, fast-aperture prime on a budget. Get the prime look without the premium price tag
Samyang 14mm T3.1 Wide Angle Prime
£25.00Samyang 14mm T3. 1 II is full frame and at 14mm is fully wide, there is little this lens doesn’t see!
Sony 18-110mm f4 G Master Zoom Lens
£40.00Sony’s Super 35mm / APS-C format version of its FE 28-135mm F4 OSS lens. This version doesn’t have the the sluggish fly by wire zoom making it better for crash zooming when in manual. We do like that about this lens, however it is better suited for PXW FS7s over the full frame PXW FX9 because of its crop factor. This lens will work on PXW FX6 however only in HD mode, not 4K.
In short this is a great ob-doc standard lens but do check it is suitable for your choice of camera.
Sony 85mm f1.4 G Master Prime Lens
£40.00The Sony 85mm f/1.4 G master lens gives superb clarity and control over depth of field & excellent bokeh, it is essential for flattering portraits.
Fujinon MK 50-135 T2.9 Zoom Lens E Mount
£75.00The Fujinon MK 50-135mm T/2.9 like its complementary MK 18-55mm T2.9 is a great lens for documentary-style shooters. The advantage of these lenses over using Canon EF L series or Sony G masters is the full manual control over iris, focus and zoom plus they are parfocal meaning that the lens stays in focus when focal length is changed.
