Rialto 65 Extension System

Sony's $80,000 Rialto 65 Extension System Turns Cinema Into Couture

Sony's new Rialto 65 Extension System costs $80,000, roughly the price of a BMW M3 or sixteen FX5 bodies. It transforms the Venice 2 into a modular cinema tool that separates the sensor from the camera brain, opening up rigging possibilities that feel more like couture than conventional filmmaking. For those drawn to the art of precision, our piece on Viltrox's curated 35mm Pro lens explores a similar devotion to craft at a far more accessible price point.
