The Moon Smartfocus System.
Moon Smartfocus utilizes a combination of IR, optical triangulation, and A.I. based Eyeball recognition to produce some of the most accurate and adaptable focus distance information in the world.
Focus aids have been around for a long time, but few have put in the effort to quantify the benefits of using their tools- Moon took the time to compile data from multiple years worth of shoots, and found that on average, productions using the Moon system collected 20% more usable footage than those that didn’t. Thats a huge deal over the course of any project.
The system does have a learning curve, so if you’re a 1st AC interested in learning how to put it to use on your next project please give us a call or shoot us an email!

The 18mm Cooke Panchro /i Classic FF. This lens is another new addition that arrived at the end of 2023. It comes in to round out our set of Panchro Classic FF’s.
Most are familiar with the pedigree of the Cooke Panchro line, and these lenses do a fantastic job of maintaining the smooth, consistent tones and pleasing falloff that the Speed Panchros are known for, but with the benefit of full frame coverage. This 18mm goes beyond any previous lenses in the line, and opens up a spectacularly wide FOV on Alexa Mini LF, Venice 1&2, and other FF cameras, while also completing our standard offering for s35.
Focal lengths available are:
18mm T2.2
21mm T2.2
25mm T2.2
27mm T2.2
32mm T2.2

New gear! We finally felt that the time had come for us to fill an enormous hole in our inventory!
The Supreme Primes are a gorgeous, high contrast, balance between the sharpness required on modern productions, but the character requested from many of our customers these days.

This is the first step in our plan to offer the full range of focal lengths. Immediately available are: 21, 25, 29, 35, 50, 85, 100. Other lengths will trickle in over the coming months, so stay tuned!!

Another very exciting addition to our camera rental inventory!
These one-of-a-kind “B” tuned Blackwings are the brainchild of our good friend .
They’ve used new coatings to warm the image, tune out the purple pupil flares, and tone down the rainbow flares that these lenses are generally known for. Airgaps have been adjusted to create a focus falloff similar to Tribe’s X tuning, and the unpainted elements provide a beautiful, lower contrast image with easily controllable veiling flares.
These are truly a spectacular feat of engineering, and we’re proud to offer them for rental!
Give us a call and ask for Colin to get more info, and to book them on your next shoot!

Large format lens options are a hot topic these days. With all of the new lens options hitting the market, it’s difficult to choose what to shoot on, and even more difficult for rental companies to anticipate what you’ll want.
Because of that, we’ve committed to further expanding Utah’s largest selection of large format glass.
Stay tuned for updates over the coming year!
