The TRIBE 7 Blackwing series represents a revolutionary approach to cinema optics, co-founded by Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Bradford Young, ASC. These lenses are not merely tools but “instruments” designed with a philosophy inspired by audio synthesis—where optical “distortion” is treated like EQ to create a specific “musical” fidelity.
The T-tuned (Transient) and X-tuned (Expressive) variants are designed for filmmakers who prioritize character over clinical perfection, offering varying degrees of vintage aesthetics and light reactivity.
Key Features:
Full Frame/Large Format Coverage: Specifically designed to cover large sensors (up to a 60mm image circle) without losing their unique character.
Fast Apertures: Most focal lengths maintain a fast T1.9 stop, making them excellent for low-light environments.
Consistent Mechanics: All lenses share a 104mm front diameter (or 114mm in newer housings) and unified gear placements for seamless lens changes on set.
Custom Tuning: The “modular distortion” allows lenses to be uniquely configured at the point of manufacture to suit a specific cinematographer’s taste.
Vintage Soul, Modern Build: They provide the “K35” or “Super Speed” look with the mechanical precision of 21st-century engineering.
Cost: TBD
