Aureus Prime in pictures
-
T1.4 on every focal length
Shallow depth of field and soft bokeh even on the 18mm; in low light you keep shooting.
-
The frame doesn’t breathe
Focus breathing almost absent: shift focus and the framing stays the same. 300° ring with calibrated resistance.
-
Same look, five focal lengths
Matched colour and micro-contrast across the series: change lenses without correcting in post.
-
Filters at the back, compact rig
Built-in rear filters (ND, Black Mist, creative) and phosphorescent scales in feet and metres for working in the dark.
