This week our lens technicians received Canon lens training from Daniel Umeki, a Tech Support Specialist at Canon. Working with all factory supplied tools, our team was trained on complete disassembly and overhaul of the Canon Cine-Servo Cinema Zoom 17-120.

AbelCine is excited to announce that we now have the Arri AMIRA and Canon Cine-Servo 17-120 Zoom available in our Rental department.

Our AbelCine lens technicians are fully equipped to provide factory level service on your lenses. With all of that experience, here are some of their tips and practices recommended for cleaning, handling and shipping your modern cine optics in the field.

AbelCine is the only lens service location in North America that is capable of performing service and calibrating Zeiss lenses at the same level as the Zeiss Factory in Oberkochen, Germany.

At AbelCine, we talk a lot about camera sensors - we cover topics like size, crop and resolution all the time. The camera sensor is the heart of the camera so it gets a lot of attention, but we don't often discuss what happens to the sensor once you take the camera out of the box and start using it in the field.

AbelCine is now an Authorized Service Center for Angenieux Cine zoom lenses, performing warranty and non-warranty repairs for customers across the United States. All repairs are handled out of AbelCine NY's state-of-the-art facility by our factory-trained technicians.

There's a new look, some new services, and a new dynamic at AbelCine. In order to explain what's behind these changes, we need to take a closer look at our industry.

Abel Cine Tech is pleased to now offer direct sales of Carl Zeiss DigiPrime and DigiZoom lenses. This high-performance lens line has become the industry standard for discerning cinematographers in the 2/3" digital cinema space.
