Tribe7 Blackwing lens

TRIBE7 Blackwing7 are a Full Frame modern lens set with vintage-inspired designs. These lenses are not simply rehoused vintage lenses, but rather new designs that draw inspiration from 1950s and 1960s prime lenses. One of the key features of BLACKWING lenses is their unique bokeh, which is widely regarded as beautiful. As a result, it is highly recommended to use these lenses wide open whenever possible to fully utilize their signature bokeh.

The production models of TRIBE7 lenses are available in three different tunings: "S" for "Straight", "T" for "Transient", and "X" for "Expressive". In addition, TRIBE7 offers custom tunings for these lenses. One option is the T-tuned set, known for its balance of performance and character. It has single-layer coatings that give a warmer image and lifted shadows. Another option is the custom-tuned set, which incorporates the same characteristics as the T-tuned lenses, but with slightly enhanced flare character and no lenticular rainbow flare. Lensworks Skilled Technicians can also prepare customized tuning upon advance request.
