The SP3 lenses are designed with a deliberate sharpness at the center of the image, enhancing focus and clarity where it matters most. This central sharpness is balanced by a subtle focus fall-off towards the frame edges, providing the Director of Photography (DOP) with added dimensionality to sculpt the visual composition. A key characteristic of using the SP3 lenses is their ability to maintain sharpness along the optical axis, ensuring clarity at the center of the image. This sharpness is elegantly complemented by a gradual transition towards the frame’s periphery, mirroring the natural visual perception of the human eye.

The SP3 series distinguishes itself by authentically capturing specular flaring and veiling glare, without overwhelming the image with exaggerated artifacts. This approach empowers cinematographers to concentrate on realizing their creative vision without distraction. Utilizing specialized cinematic optical coatings, the SP3 lenses maintain precise control over flare and ensure consistent color matching across the entire set, enhancing the overall cinematic experience.
