The 65mm T2.5 Classic Prime, on the other hand, offers a different style of shooting. This lens has a slightly smaller maximum aperture of T2.5 and is designed to produce vintage-style image rendering and unique character, which can add a distinctive look to a film or video. With less contrast, warmer color tones, and dramatic flares, the Classic Prime is the perfect choice when your narrative demands more character.

The 65mm T1.5 FF HS Cine Prime and 65mm T2.5 Classic Prime are compatible with full-frame and S35 sensors, which allow for use across popular cinema-camera systems.

Overall, the SIGMA 65mm T1.5 FF HS Cine Prime and 65mm T2.5 Classic Prime offer excellent choices for cinematographers. Whether you are looking for a fast and versatile lens or a vintage-style option, SIGMA can help you achieve your creative vision.

SIGMA­ FP: Director’s Viewfinder + Anamorphic De-squeeze

The SIGMA FP is a highly capable camera for filmmakers and creatives of all levels, due to its compact size, robust build, and image-rendering quality. With its latest firmware update, the Director’s Viewfinder feature within the SIGMA FP and FP-L has unlocked anamorphic de-squeezed viewing that will be particularly useful for filmmakers working with anamorphic lenses.

The Director's Viewfinder is a feature that bestows on filmmakers the ability to preview compositions and plan their camera positions efficiently. Traditionally, this was done using a physical viewfinder that simulates the field of view of a particular lens, but the director's viewfinder on the SIGMA FP offers an alternative that is more versatile and more efficient. It can also simulate the view of many of the most popular cinema cameras used in production today.

With the latest firmware update, the SIGMA FP's Director's Viewfinder feature has been updated to support anamorphic lenses. This is significant because filmmakers can now preview shots using anamorphic lenses on the SIGMA FP's high-resolution display, with a range of different anamorphic ratios available to choose from (x1.25, 1.3, 1.5, 1.65, 1.8, and 2).

By using the Director's Viewfinder to preview shots with anamorphic lenses, filmmakers can make more informed decisions about their camera placement, lens choice, and composition before setting up their camera. This can save time and reduce the likelihood of mistakes or miscommunication on set.

With the addition of anamorphic de-squeeze, the SIGMA FP and Director's Viewfinder feature continue to prove their worth on set. Filmmakers can be confident in their compositions and streamline their preproduction and on-set workflow to ensure a more efficient environment.
