Ancient Optics H1 Primes

The Ancient Optics are teasing their new H1 Primes, which are a new set of fast, lightweight, compact, FF cinema lenses with vintage character, modern mechanics, and swappable mirrorless mounts.

Ancient Optics teamed up with Ironglass Adapters to build the H1 Primes. The goal was to build lenses for projects that demand smaller cinema lenses, without sacrificing character, performance, or mechanical quality.

I don’t currently have any further information about these new lenses, but they should be listed up on the Ancient Optics website soon.
