Band Pro offers new set of 4K “Mystery Prime” Lenses

Burbank California, December 17, 2009--At the One World on HD event, Band Pro Film
and Digital introduces a groundbreaking new brand of ultra-high performance PL mount
prime lenses, designed to deliver optical performance for true 4K imaging and beyond.

After three years of design and prototyping, the new T1.4 lenses, still code named
“Mystery Primes” within Band Pro, are fully developed and 3 focal lengths are due to be
demonstrated on the F35 camera at the event. The series of prime lenses, available
exclusively worldwide from Band Pro, will eventually total 15 different focal lengths,
ranging from 12mm to 150mm. Delivery of production models of eight of the lenses will
begin in early summer of 2010.

“A unique use of aspheric technology and cutting-edge mechanical cine lens design
provides the “Mystery Primes” with unmatched evenness of illumination across the
entire 35mm frame and into the corners with no discernable breathing” said Michael
Bravin, Chief Technologist of Band Pro. “Suppression of color fringing into the farthest
corners of the frame is superior to any lenses I have ever seen.”

The entire set of “Mystery Primes” features unified distance focus scales, common size
and location of focus and iris rings, and a 95mm threaded (for filters) lens front--all
allowing quick interchange of lenses in a busy production environment. Another unique
feature is an integrated threaded net ring in the rear of the PL mount.

Designed to be light in weight yet rugged on the set, the mount and lens barrel are
manufactured using lightweight high strength titanium materials. For example, a typical
Mystery Prime weighs just 3 lbs (1.4kg).

The core set of “Mystery Primes”, which will start delivering by June 2010, includes
16mm, 18mm, 21mm, 25mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, 65mm, 75mm, and 100mm lenses.
Additional focal lengths will be delivered in a second phase.
