FAQ

• Q: What is "2 in 1 Character"?
  A: ATHENA REWIND lenses give 2 image characters in one — a Vintage tone (soft, glowing, with Filmic depth) and a Modern tone (sharp, clean, easy to grade) — depending on how you shoot and the aperture you choose. Wide open gives the Vintage Look; stopped down a little gives the Modern Look
• Q: What is Bubble Bokeh?
  A: Bubble Bokeh refers to bokeh circles with dark edges and bright centers, like soap bubbles — a hallmark of pro-grade Vintage lenses such as Petzval / Trioplan — and ATHENA REWIND delivers this Look at an accessible price
• Q: Which cameras can it be used with?
  A: This lens is PL Mount — it works with pro Cinema cameras such as ARRI ALEXA, RED, Sony VENICE, Z CAM, Kinefinity and more, or on other Mirrorless cameras via a PL Adapter
