SLR MAGIC expands their portfolio at IBC 2019 with additional focal lengths in MFT mount for MicroPrimes – 21mm T1.6 & 50mm T1.4
Hong Kong (13 September, 2019)
Following the success of SLR Magic’s venture into affordable yet robust and high quality cinema and photo lenses, we are pleased to announce new editions to our product range. Based on popular demand and responding to our users, we are now offering a selection of new lenses in the MFT-mount
Given the extreme popularity of our cine lenses in the E-mount range, our engineers and design team logically progressed into the development of extending mounting options.
Taking from our successful formula along with our previous offerings, SLR Magic have now produce 2 additional lengths given the popularity of Blackmagic’s Pocket 4k camera and the Z Cam E2.
Both lenses all feature full manual control, have a 82mm thread front, a 85mm front diameter for clamp on matte box, are all 0.8 Mod geared and are almost identical in form factor and weight.
A 21mm and 50mm are now added to the MicroPrime range. With a new design, these 2 new focal lengths will now round out the existing range and provide more choice and versatility to all Micro Prime shooters. The range for MFT will now include 12mm T2.8, 18mm T2.8, 21mm T1.6, 25mm T1.5, 50mm T1.4.
SLR Magic have been synonymous with sharp images wide open with smooth roll off, beautiful bokeh edge to edge and are fast becoming the lens of choice rather than an alternative for the Cine and Photo industry.

Introduces 8K Organic Sensor innovation
Panasonic will also be demonstrating its latest 8K Organic Sensor technology at IBC 2019. Designed for wide camera angle shots with high resolution, the sensor is set to revolutionise commercial sports and live event coverage.
With first commercial use anticipated at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, the organic sensor technology has a number of competitive advantages. It comes with a wide dynamic range delivering more colours and higher quality images than ever before. Its Electronic Neutral Density Filter (ENDF) can reduce or introduce light more smoothly than its traditional Optical Neutral Density (OND) counterparts and its innovative Global Shutter delivers advantages over current Rolling Shutters by removing the skew when shooting fast moving images and eliminating flashband from still camera lighting at live events and press conferences.

43rumors note: This is a groundbreaking new sensor tech but it will take years before we see it on a “normal” Micro Four Thirds camera.
STC has released this press text to announce the new Clip Filter Range for Panasonic, Z-Cam and Blackmagic Design Camera Systems. They also announced that their products are now available on Amazon UK.

STC Announce Clip Filter Range for Panasonic, Z-Cam and Blackmagic Design Camera Systems
STC’s latest announcement is certain to delight filmmakers and photographers alike as the new range is compatible with not only the Panasonic Lumix M4/3 camera system but also the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (BMPCC) and the small-yet-perfectly-formed Z Cam E2 4K Cinema Camera. This, fifth-generation series from STC focuses on superior quality with its manufacture, producing imaging results that speak for themselves. With more than a decade of market-leading R&D leading to the series, the structure of these Clip Filters has been improved and optimised to perform better than ever.
The Panasonic M43 Clip Filter is designed to sit on the front side of the shutter mechanism and as such, will not affect the Ibis anti-shake function and with its perfectly sealed structure, will also protect the camera’s sensor from dust.
The new Clip Filter Series for Panasonic LUMIX, Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (BMPCC) and the Z Cam E2 4K Cinema Camera Includes:
● Sensor Protector Filter
● Neutral Density (ND) Filter: ND16 (4-stop) – ND64 (6-stop) – ND400 (9-stop)
– ND1000 (10-stop). ND8 (3-stop) coming mid-October
● Infrared (IR) Filter: 590nm – 720nm – 850nm
● UV-IR Cut Filter: 625nm reduction
● Astro Filter: Multispectra Multi-Band Interferometric Filter – Duo-Narrowband
Bimodal Narrowband Filter - Nightscape Starscape Filter
One Filter – Any Lens!
As with all of STC’s stunning Clip Filters, the new range of Panasonic LUMIX M43 Clip Filters are completely safe and extremely simple to use, giving users the option to shoot with the lens of their choice. This, by its very nature, demonstrates significant cost savings, completely eliminating the need to purchase multiple filters in differing sizes to fit various lenses.
Opening up a world of greater shooting opportunities, the new Panasonic LUMIX M43 Clip Filters from STC can be combined with STC’s traditional circular filters to give creatives a broader palette of artistic and practical possibilities.
Built for Professionals
All STC Clip Filters are manufactured in high-quality SCHOTT® B270 Optical Glass and A2 stainless steel, which is virtually non-magnetic, and finished with double-sided NANO Anti-smudge coating to guarantee excellent water and grease-proofing performance.
Innovation in Imaging
Since their first arrival, STC’s Clip Filters have been causing a stir within the global image-making community. The brand’s superior coatings and optical qualities are second to none. Couple this with the cost-saving that comes with the product’s ‘One Filter – Any Lens’ message and the result is hard to resist!
William Wu, CEO and Lead Design Engineer, STC, said:
“We are excited to watch as both photographers and videographers use our new Clip Filters for Panasonic LUMIX M43 camera systems for the first time. Whilst many photographers see in-body filter systems as new technology, the filmmaking industry has been using these kinds of filters for many years. We believe that producing Clip Filters for Panasonic LUMIX’s M43 mount, and by default, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and the Z Cam E2 4K Cinema Camera, we are delivering a perfect solution for videographers who are opting for these small-form camera systems. The benefits are huge, with the ability to ‘pair’ filters, or to simply use traditional circular filters on the front of the lens, coupling with our sensor protector Clip Filter. Whichever you choose, the creative possibilities are endless.”
