A light you can rig almost anywhere.

Pull the yoke and the 80c is barely bigger than your fist. Two 3/8” threaded sockets, so it clamps where a stand won’t fit. Trunk of a car, inside a cabinet, hidden behind set dressing.

BLAIR-CG engine, 90%+ Rec2020 coverage. 1,800K to 20,000K with full +/- green, CRI 97.

Runs off AC, V-mount, or a USB-C power bank. IP65 sealed, so rain and dust don’t end the shoot.

Small enough to hide. Good enough to build a look around.

The LOMO Illumina MK.II carries the DNA of classic Russian glass in a compact, modern housing. Well-resolved wide open, but still full of character. Lower contrast than most modern glass, a natural sense of dimensionality, and flares that come big and easy.

Focus breathing is unusually well controlled for a lens with this much personality. Pulls stay clean, even up close.

Five-lens prime set. 18 | 25 | 35 | 50 | 85mm, all T1.3

Now available at DFI Rentals.

Zane Farmer shot “Your Soul” for edgar on the Mini LF paired with TRIBE7 Blackwing7s.

“When choosing what equipment to use on any given project, I always take an emotion-first approach. On a music video, the goal is to understand how to best marry the song and picture. For “Your Soul,” I knew the director Chris Bradford was heavily inspired by high-energy, alternative mixed media. I felt that Tribe7’s were the perfect choice because their character is so easily controlled; this gave me the opportunity to introduce more or less as the energy of the music shifted. Additionally, they offer subtle flares, which Chris was excited about, and a medium level of contrast that made it easy to push our look even further in the grade. DFI Rentals was a great partner in this project and worked closely with my team to ensure we felt taken care of.” - Zane Farmer (Director of Photography) Zane Farmer

The Tribe7’s controlled distortion softens contrast in the highlights instead of clipping hard, so speculars bloom rather than break. Flares come gentle and warm, never clinical. Color renders slightly muted, a touch of that vintage roll-off that keeps skin tones from going digital-sharp.

This set is tuned in the “Transient” variant: smoother image, more focus falloff, softer flaring.
