Carl Zeiss and Redrock Micro Team to Deliver Film-Look Solutions for Digital Video Cameras
ZEISS ZF lenses to be offered as bundled option with the Award-Winning Redrock M2 Cinema Lens Adapter
Thornwood, N.Y. and Dallas, TX – Carl Zeiss and Redrock Micro today announced that Redrock now offers ZEISS ZF lenses in conjunction with the Redrock M2 cinema lens adapter. This distribution partnership brings the recognized best of 35mm lens adapters and 35mm optics together as a powerful and ultra-affordable package for indie filmmakers to achieve remarkable film-style footage using DV and HD/V cameras.
“Our customers are pushing the envelope of high production value footage for incredibly small budgets,” said James Hurd, Chief Revolutionist for Redrock Micro. “We recognized the new Zeiss lens offerings are a perfect match for our customers through offering the legendary Zeiss performance with the Redrock M2 adapter bundles at an extremely attractive price point.”
Redrock has received many awards and industry recognition for its flagship product, the M2 cinema lens adapter, which enables existing Digital Video and HD/V cameras to be fitted with 35mm lenses for remarkable footage that is nearly indistinguishable from 35mm motion picture film. In addition to the M2, Redrock has also released a family of high quality, revolutionary priced cinema accessories for indie filmmakers including the microFollowFocus, microWhips, microRodSupport, and microPowerPod.
“Zeiss products have a longstanding reputation for superior quality in both the motion picture and still photography world,” said Richard Schleuning, National Sales Manager for Carl Zeiss. “The combination of Zeiss’ new still camera lenses matched with the Redrock M2 adapter is an innovative and powerful application.”
Under terms of the agreement, Redrock will offer the ZEISS ZF F-mount lenses wherever Redrock products are sold, including its complete online catalog and ordering system at www.redrockmicro.com. Lenses will be offered both standalone and bundled with Redrock products. The ZEISS ZF lens range includes 7 different focal lengths and feature high resolution, low distortion and rugged all-metal construction for a long service life.
Redrock Micro and Carl Zeiss will be demonstrating the combined solution at PhotoPlus Expo Oct 18-20th in New York City, NY at Zeiss Booth #1654.
