product details

MasterBuilt Soft Flare lenses are modern cine primes designed to merge high-end optical performance with an expressive, character-driven aesthetic. These lenses produce a more organic rendering than clinical modern glass, and are known for their gentle highlight roll-off and beautifully controlled blooming around strong light sources. Engineered to serve as a companion to the Vista-M Classic series, the Soft Flares provide creative flexibility: they can be swapped in for more delicate flare behavior without changing coverage or handling attributes. A set comprises nine focal lengths: 18mm, 25mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, 65mm, 85mm, and 105mm, and 135mm. All T1.4. Available for rental or subrental at Cine Visuals.

Image Performance

Handling & Adaptability

The inclusion of a single aspheric optical element makes it visually compatible with both the multi-aspheric Leica Summilux-C and the spherical Leica Summicron-C primes. With nine lenses in six groups and apochromatic correction, outstanding resolution and contrast can be achieved all the way to the edge of the frame.
