Aputure CF12 Fresnel: The Ultimate Large-Format Fresnel for High-Output LEDs
The Aputure CF12 Fresnel is a professional, large-format Fresnel light modifier specifically engineered for use with high-output LED fixtures like the Aputure Light Storm 1200d Pro and other powerful, high-wattage lights. Unlike its smaller counterparts, the CF12 is designed to create an expansive, perfectly even field of light, providing filmmakers with the ability to shape a powerful source into a massive, cinematic hard light. The “CF” in its name signifies its lightweight carbon fiber composite construction, a revolutionary design that makes this large Fresnel highly durable and manageable on set.
Massive 12-Inch Lens for Unrivaled Light Quality:
At the heart of the CF12 is a substantial 12-inch glass Fresnel lens. This oversized lens not only creates a softer and more flattering light source than smaller Fresnels but also produces a broad, clean beam with smooth light falloff. The CF12’s professional optical design ensures a true-to-life color rendition and minimal light loss, transforming the intense, broad light from a high-wattage LED into a controllable, focused beam.
Precision Focusing and Light Output Amplification:
The CF12 features a high-quality focusing mechanism that allows for precise adjustment of the beam angle. You can seamlessly transition from a narrow, powerful spot to a wide, even flood. By concentrating the light, the CF12 significantly increases the effective luminance of your fixture, allowing you to use it as a powerful key light for long throws or to compete with bright ambient light sources.
Lightweight and Durable Carbon Fiber Composite Build:
Breaking from the heavy, all-metal construction of traditional Fresnels, the CF12’s carbon fiber composite body makes it surprisingly lightweight for its size. This innovative design reduces stress on your light fixture and stand, making the modifier easier to transport, rig, and adjust on set. The composite material also ensures incredible durability and resistance to the rigors of professional use.
The Aputure CF12 Fresnel is an indispensable tool for cinematographers and gaffers who require a professional-grade, large-format hard light source. It offers a unique combination of exceptional light quality, massive output, and a lightweight, durable build that makes it the definitive choice for shaping and controlling powerful LED fixtures on any production.
