Abakus (formerly Abakus Scientific) designs and manufactures optical lens systems for TV and cine professionals and specialist industrial applications. The company is able to translate customer wants and needs into product solutions. This is helped by a sound corporate scientific knowledge base and a network of specialist component suppliers. Ideas are formulated into optical designs by the use of in-house high speed computers. Mechanical designers wrap bodies around the optical components so the lenses function correctly and can be operated with ease and artistic sensitivity. Specialist glass and metal manufacturers make components to their design specifications and tolerances. Abakus assemble and test all optical products. These products range from simple protective optical flat windows to zoom lenses and specialist wide-angle High Definition (HDTV) lenses.

This is for the direct optical conversion of 2/3″ video lenses into super-16 format. The stainless steel B4 mount at the front of the unit fits onto the rear of B4 mount video lenses. The rear of the unit interfaces with super-16 cameras using an Arri PL mount. Between the mounts is a system of high quality optics, so there is no loss of quality. The unit maximises the use of video lenses for cine super-16.
