  Mark Vb Director's Viewfinder

This Item Ships Out By Sept 30th


The Mark Vb Director's Viewfinder accurately defines choice of lenses, angles and coverage in a wide variety of formats for both film and video. It enables filmmakers to communicate their visions to each other quickly and with complete accuracy, allowing the time saved to be used on the art of filmmaking.


THE MARK Vb DIRECTOR'S VIEWFINDER
Manufactured by Alan Gordon Enterprises, the Mark Vb is the latest version of the Academy Award Winning Mark V and continues to be the choice of Film and Video makers worldwide. The Mark Vb has all the features of the Mark V plus new markings on the Aspect Ratio ring, making it easer to read for both film and video use. We also eliminated the 1/2 " video window and replaced it with the current video chip standard of 2/3." Film sizes and video formats are color-coded for quick reading.
