Here’s a round-up of my favorite new photography gear that I saw at WPPI 2016 including Sony wireless flash systems from Sony, Phottix and Nissin.

Sony Wireless Flash Commander System

Featuring a maximum range of 100 feet (30 meters), the new lighting system will include the FA-WRC1M wireless radio commander and FA-WRR1 wireless radio receiver.

Phottix Odin II TTL Flash Trigger Transmitter for Sony

Phottix teased the debut of their new Odin II TTL Flash Trigger Transmitter for Sony Multi Interface Shoe the week leading up to WPPI. Expected to ship late Spring 2016 with a street price around $210 USD, it provides TTL & HSS with Phottix Mitros+ TTL Transceiver Flash and Phottix Indra TTL flashes.

Rokinon Xeen 14, 24, 35, 50, 85mm Cine Lens Bundle

Rokinon Xeen 14, 24, 35, 50, 85mm Cine Lens Bundle – $9,999 for Sony E-Mount | PL | EF | Nikon F | MFT

For limited time only, get a full set of five Rokinon Xeen Cine Primes for $9,999. This kit includes a full, color matched set of 14, 24, 35, 50, and 85mm full frame cine lenses. Xeen lenses feature an internal focus design so the front of the lens doesn’t rotate as you change focus, and the lens maintains a constant volume. Dual-sided focus marks make it easier on your camera assistant working on either side of the camera, and the 200° of focus barrel rotation provide ample real estate for precision marking.

Each lens incorporates built-in cinema-style focus and iris gears that share common positions making for fast lens changes. All the lenses in the set feature a maximum aperture of T1.5 and an 11-bladed iris, except for the 14mm which features a maximum aperture of T3.1 and a 9-bladed iris. As these are cinema lenses, the iris is designed to be clickless, allowing smooth aperture pulls.

Rokinon Xeen 35mm T1.5 Cine Lens – $2,495
