Optical Character and Performance

With an aperture of T1.5, the 65mm Vista-P provides a distinct and stylized rendering of subjects. The 9-blade iris creates a soft and rounded bokeh that is perfect for isolating the subject from the background. The optical design is specifically crafted to produce lower contrast, contributing to the classic look that many filmmakers strive for. Despite the soft bokeh, sharp central focus is preserved, and chromatic aberration is kept under control, making this lens highly useful for professional filmmakers.

The Vista-P lens is also set to highlight spherical distortion, creating a swirling effect in the background. The bright aperture makes it easy to work in low light and allows for a shallow depth of field, providing fantastic creative freedom during recording.

Large Format Range and Resolution

The Vista-P series has a large image circle of 46.7 mm, making it suitable for full-frame, VistaVision, and digital 65 mm sensors. This extensive format makes the lens ideal for high-resolution recording, including workflows up to 8K. The combination of large format range and stylized rendering allows producers to create images with a unique character while meeting modern demands for high resolution.
