Real Beauties

This stunning lens has just come into stock. Just look at it!


Nikkor 85 f1.4 NAI 

Stop it! You're drooling all over your keyboard!

Why not just give me a call. This lens can be yours for only R4500. It's a Nikon F mount of course, but with all the adapters available out there now, you could use it on other cameras. It will make a stunning lens for video with a DSLR.



Only for Real Photographers


For photographers doing serious product or architecture photography, this Fuji GX 680 III (6x8 cm format) could be just the right tool for you. It has the movements of a view camera with the convenience of a reflex camera (you can view and shoot simultaneously). It uses 120 roll film, but digital backs have been available from some manufacturers.

Dear Photographer,

 After many years of supplying professional photographers with their equipment needs, we have come to recognise the varying trends taking place within the industry at any given time. This can range from consistent demand for new high end equipment, to requests for more affordable niche products at the lower end. At other times, we may have requests to seek out some of the more desirable collector's items or just to assist with general photographic support and advice.  At the moment the focus seems to be on the need for good quality Pre-Owned Equipment. Hence, I am pleased to inform you that our list of Pre-Owned Equipment has grown and includes a number of gems. But first please have a look at some of the new equipment promoted below.



NEW EQUIPMENT

Samyang 35 T1.5

SAMYANG 35MM T1.5 AS UMC VDSLR LENS

The Samyang 35mm T1.5 AS UMC VDSLR lens is a fast, wide angle, manual focus prime lens for full frame cameras, or a fast standard prime when used on APS-C/DX sensors, available for Canon and Nikon mounts.

This VDSLR (Video DSLR) version has been developed primarily for professional cine / movie making purposes. The VDSLR version features follow focus gearing and decoupled aperture, which allow the user to smoothly and quietly change focus and aperture / depth of field whist filming, and link to professional follow focus cam systems.

This lens is rated in T-Stops rather than F-stops which is usual for movie camera lenses. F-stop number expresses the speed of the lens on the assumption that lens transmits 100% of the incident light. The T-number expresses the actual light transmission, which is more accurate, and is the standard in professional cine lenses.

The Samyang 35mm T1.5 AS UMC VDSLR lens version is optically the same as the standard 35mm f1.4 AS UMC “stills” version.

Producing superior resolution and sharpness throughout the image equal to or exceeding lenses 3 times the price, the Samyang 35mm lens is truly a professional class lens at an affordable price.

At wide apertures the Samyang 35mm lens provides beautiful bokeh, (the character of out-of-focus areas) which is perfect for portrait type applications, or photography where ultra-smooth out of focus backgrounds or foregrounds is preferred. This technique helps to separate the subject from the background, giving very pleasing and professional results in both film and still
s photography.

These and the entire range of Samyang lenses are available from us. Please phone for more info on this superb range of lenses.
