We’ve been working hard here at DFS to satisfy the urge for creative depth of field. You may be asking yourself what that means, and as I’m sure you understand hard work, it’s the urge that takes explanation. The Canon 5D and 7D create exceptional images, but they’re only useful if they’re in focus, and that requires proper follow focus systems, lenses that allow for repeatable focus, a mattebox so that you can add filters to help reduce aliasing and control that depth of field, a monitor that lets you see all this, and a way to power all this up without multiple power sources and only a few cables. These requirements led us to search out all the best products, and put them together in a package that works well together, including the Viewfactor Contineo cage, Anton-Bauer batteries, Chrosziel and Arri matteboxes and follow focus, Zeiss/Contax manual focus lenses, Arri Compact Primes, and a lot more.
