TRIBE7 – BLACKWING7
Binary II Lenses
TRIBE7 introduces a limited run of Second Edition BLACKWING7 Binary Prime Lenses. This release builds on the legacy of the original prototypical Binary lenses, introduced five years ago. 10 sets were made in 2019 as test and evaluation optics.
The original all-chrome BLACKWING7 Binary design included creative analog artifacts such as spherical aberration and halation and had very distinctive flare characteristics. These lenses helped to establish the optical prescriptions forseries production and allowed TRIBE7 to explore fundamentals of look variation through proprietary lens coating and un-coating, culminating in the S, T and X standard production lenses released for sale in 2020.
