The lenses completely cover the
full frame sensors and feature an
optical and mechanical design which
offers outstanding operation as well
as rugged reliability. All Full Frame
Prime lenses share the same external

the exception of the 100mm. It is this
attention to detail which means that
users will appreciate the oversized
focus and distance scales that are
readable on both sides of the lens.
Professional photographer and
ﬁlmmaker Jim Marks presented and
demonstrated the range of Schneider
Xenon lenses using his RED camera,
allowing attendees to experience the
superb quality ﬁrst hand.
Video Bag Range
Alongside the extensive range of
tripods and kits that cater for DSLR
users and upwards, Manfrotto showed
several video bags.
The Pro Light CC-193 PL
compact video camera
case is an optimal
professional solution
for
protecting,
carrying
and
working with small
to
medium
camcorders
or DSLRs used
with video rigs.
With
ExoTough multi
layered
construction
and
the
Manfrotto
Camera Protection
System to safeguard your
precious gear and an intelligent and
intuitive design, the CC-193 PL makes

sure you have quick access to your
gear when on the move.
The Pro Light Pro V-410 PL is a
versatile video camera backpack
designed to ﬁt a wide range of small
camcorder set-ups or a DSLR and
video rig. The slim, streamlined
exterior offers full front access to the
main compartment whilst the four
padded pouches allow you to store and
access your gear from both the outside
and inside. These pouches adapt to the
shape and size of the gear inside them,
functioning as both protection and
storage devices.
Light Modiﬁers
Increasing the already extensive
product
range
on
display,
Manfrotto
Distribution
UK
showed a variety of Lastolite light
modifying products, including the
TriFlip 8:1 Deluxe kit, Skylite Rapid
and Ezybalance.
The TriFlip kit provides an eight
in one surface for any situation
and features the innovative
TriGrip reﬂector. The TriGrip
replaces the need for a
regular shaped reﬂector
by utilising a triangular
design which produces a
much stronger and more
stable structure. The
moulded handle with
securing strap allows
for
accurate
positioning with
one hand, and
also allows you to
position the reﬂector
without the need to
constantly grip the
handle. Designed to
increase the versatility

of the TriGrip, the TriFlip sleeves
are easy to set up and provide a taut
professional ﬁnish in seconds.
The Skylite Rapid is a large diffuser/
reﬂector perfect for the location
photographer who needs lighting
control in the most demanding
situations. The collapsible yet rigid
aluminium frame delivers reliable
performance even in windy conditions,
while the cover simply clips in place,
giving maximum versatility.
Finally, the Ezybalance is a double
sided pop up grey/white card which
simpliﬁes the complex technical issues
surrounding exposure and colour
correction when working in different
lighting conditions. A unique focusing
target enables the camera to focus
on the card and take the
necessary readings.
