For Filmmakers.
Cinesuit emerged from founder Tobias Eek's love for filmmaking. His journey through the intricate world of lenses — exploring the nuances of bokeh, color rendition, chromatic aberration, distortion, sharpness and softness — has been driven by an eagerness to discover how different lenses influence a scene.
From the unique swirl of a Helios 44-2's bokeh and the warm colors of a Leica R, to the unmatched clarity offered by modern glass like Sigma ART, each step has deepened his understanding of cinematic imagery.
Cinesuit is more than just a brand. It's the embodiment of a filmmaker dedicated to overcoming the obstacles in our creative processes. This journey, from fascination to invention, highlights Cinesuit's foundational principle: it's about empowering filmmakers at every level with tools that were once deemed unreachable.
Bridging The Gap
On our quest to quality cinematography, we ultimately discover a financial challenge: The lenses we dream of are almost always financially out of reach. Sigma ART lenses promised a solution with their blend of quality and affordability, yet their cine versions introduced a massive cost barrier.
On the other side, you have 3D printed follow focus gears, which, while popular due to their low cost, feel like a compromise and lack the professional feel and reliability we need.
This situation exposed a gap in the market—a need for high-quality optics in a cinema-friendly package that didn't break the bank.
A New Solution
In response to this dilemma, Cinesuit offers a third path. Unlike 3D printed follow focus gears that are slid over the lens's rubber ring Cinesuit provides a seamlessly integrated, professional-grade modification. Our approach transcends the common perception of 'cheap solutions', offering filmmakers a sense of pride and confidence in our gear. With Cinesuit, the focus isn't just on affordability but on providing what is necessary for most filmmakers, without the insane price tag.
Introducing Cinesuit
Focusing on Sigma ART lenses, Cinesuit transforms these lenses into film-ready tools that somewhat rival their high-cost counterparts in functionality and feel. This isn't about makeshift adjustments; it's about a durable, thoughtfully designed enhancement that respects the lens's essence while significantly improving its utility for filmmaking.
Empowering Filmmakers
Everywhere
Cinesuit is more than just a product — it's a movement towards democratizing filmmaking tools. While other options exist, from high-end cinema lenses to budget-friendly but less satisfying alternatives, Cinesuit stands out by providing a balance of quality, affordability, and professional functionality. Our mission is to support the creative vision of filmmakers by offering a solution that feels genuine and is technically sound, enabling more stories to be told in
visually compelling ways.
