The Nodal One PL Mount Focal Reducer is a new player in a niche market.
While focal reducers had a moment during the Micro Four Third days as full frame cameras propagate the market, there really isn’t a wide use for them anymore.
Well, now that the ARRI Alexa and the RED Komodo are giving Super 35 sensors a much-needed boost, will the old tech make a comeback?
Joshua Chiara, the founder of Nodal Cine, seems to think so, which is why he’s putting out the Nodal One Focal Reducer. This PL to RF focal reducer aims to compete with Metabones and offer filmmakers all the fields of view they keep cropping.
The New Kid on the Block
The Nodal One Focal Reducer is currently in the prototype stages and being funded via IndieGoGo. The final production unit is claimed to be compatible with a variety of lenses, including Atlas Mercury and Orion anamorphic primes, Sigma FF ART Primes, DZO Vespid primes, Laowa OOOM zoom, vintage Helios and MIR primes, vintage LOMO anamorphic primes, and Cooke anamorphic primes!
