Posted on Jun 2, 2025 by Adam Duckworth
Expanded features and toolkit launched as Cineflares reaches 100 top optics
The unique interactive Cineflares lens flare library from Markus Förderer ASC, BVK, has completed profiling 100 of the industry’s top lens families. It is the world’s largest online test library of professional cine lenses – from vintage to modern – that compares lens flare characteristics at different T-stops, in a controlled environment.
Since launching in 2024, this online platform has grown into a unique resource for cinematographers and filmmakers, with many new features being added along the way, thanks to feedback from their growing user base.
In addition to producing the most extensive inventory ever of lens flare profiles, Cineflares offers a broadened range of tools to help visual artists make informed optics comparisons and more. The comprehensive digital toolkit for cinematographers and creatives, provides high-quality, optically tested lens data previously available only through extensive in-person testing. Now users can enjoy expanded features designed to help make informed decisions across a vast and diverse lens landscape.
To celebrate the 100 lens sets milestone Cineflares is offering a 15% discount to new and returning users.
