Chroma Cameras, a company that has been a maker of unique large format field cameras and accessories since 2018, has announced its first lens: a super compact 24mm f/11 lens for 35mm Leica screw-mount cameras.
Vintage lenses are more popular than ever, thanks in large part to the mirrorless revolution as well as affordable, high-quality cinema and hybrid video cameras. These lenses are regularly “cine modded” for video use due to their unique character and less clinical rendering, (sometimes) affordable prices compared to cine lenses, helicoid-driven focus with hard stops, and physical aperture rings (which are often de-clicked).
