Hello everyone,
I know you have been waiting for my update for a very long time, so I think I should post some news about it.
First, I will explain why I have to take so long time.
I have to say, I`m not a big company, I just run a personal studio, very tight of human resources, also the
capital.
The development of this product has been stop beacuse I didn`t have enough money, and I use a complex way to
make it, which will take more money and time.
What is the complex way? Most rehousing lenses in the market are stressed on modify the mount, attach aperture
device, gears... but they keep the original focus transmission device. Unfortunately, the focus device on most
still camera lenses are not good for video, rotation range isn`t enough or have some play. If you want me to
make such rehousing lens, just attach rings, gears and PL mount on original lens, that won`t take so much time, but I don`t want to wast time on making it. I want to do something better, real rehousing completely, which have to drop almost every original part, and just keep the optical parts. Actually, I never make lenses, and it takes me lots time to design the mechanic, and the parts overlap, any tiny inch will affect many parts, so I need to test it, and modify, and then test, and modify.... it is really taking time and burns money.
This is the Test version of 50 1.4，it has very long rotation range, PL mount, covering Full 35mm image, and could be
worked on any DSLR. And my future lenses will have same features.

About the focus transmission device, I use traditional design: Multi-start thread, That can provide longer and smooth rotation.

You can see almost of original parts were abandoned, then attach the multi-start thread part.

The test of 50 1.4 is almost done, and 14-24 are in process. The original parts of 14-24 are also abandoned for re-making 14-24, so that it can get longer rotation range and smaller size. I do hope they can be finished as soon as possible. And I believe that it's worthy for everyone's waiting. I will bring you products with great functioin and reasonable price.
The production is quit complicate, and for more time and budget, I decide to discontinue produce some products, and they are going to be on big sale.
I am going to visit the NAB show in Las Vegas, if someone would like to meet and purchas my products in person, please contact me before April 7th, I will give you nice price. Please e-mail to : allstar.cine@gmail.com
Thanks for your patience, I will keep work hard and do my best.
