The Masterbuilt Softflares are a specialized set of cinema primes designed to provide a distinct, vintage-inspired aesthetic while maintaining the mechanical reliability of modern optics. They are essentially a “tuned” version of the classic Masterbuilt lenses, specifically engineered to produce more expressive, organic flare characteristics and a softer contrast.
Key Features:
Enhanced Flare Character: Engineered with specialized internal coatings that encourage beautiful, rainbow-like flares and “glow” without losing image definition.
Vintage Aesthetic, Modern Build: Delivers a “dreamy” 1970s look with the precision of modern housing, consistent gear positions, and reliable mechanics.
Large Format Coverage: Designed to cover large sensors (beyond Full Frame), making them compatible with cameras like the ARRI Alexa 35, Sony VENICE, and RED V-Raptor.
Consistent T1.4 Aperture: Most focal lengths in the set feature a fast T1.4 stop, allowing for exceptional shallow depth of field and low-light performance.
Smooth Bokeh: Features a multi-blade iris that creates soft, circular out-of-focus highlights even when stopped down.
Gentle Sharpness: Offers a unique “roll-off” that is flattering for skin tones, reducing the clinical sharpness often found in digital sensors.
Cost: USD $111,000 /95k for 8 – 16k for 28mm
