Thank you so much for reading about our new gear. We are constantly upgrading our lighting and camera packages. Currently, JBL Films has had the Sony FX9 available for a few years. We’ve added new lenses! Most recently, the 70-200 GM ii has improved our long lens optics. Before that, a super sharp and fast Sony 85mm f1.4 prime lens was added. The FX9 was a great improvement a few years back and moved our cinematography services into the full frame sensor world. The new 85mm at full frame is a great close up and interview lens. We've also added the new Aputure Storm 80C. Great color rendition and super small form factor, along with a matching softbox its a great eye light, fast small key or light weight fill.
We've had a second FX9 package available for some time, and right now its out on an extended rental. Our Sony FS7 package is currently for sale. Our A7riv has had new life with our recently aquired Ronin RS4, with a lightweight 5" monitor it has gone in cars, beaches and well everywhere.
The FX9's sensor capture area is adjustable between shots with the push of a button. With this feature, the flexibility of lensing improves greatly. With documentary and fast moving coverage this could save the time it takes to switch lenses by simply adjusting the capture area. The auto focus capabilities are extraordinary and can result in great action coverage and precise adjustments within interviews as well. The improved dynamic range, signal to noise ratio and dual ISO, along with the Sony Venice-like S-Cinetone gamma option all add up to better quality images with more and cleaner detail. Call or email for more information. We’d be happy to schedule a shoot or test. We’re available in Los Angeles, Ventura and Orange Counties and can travel anywhere. Examples of recent projects shot with the FX9, the Ronin and new lenses along with our classic GM 24-70 are viewable here.
