Build the kit you actually carry. Skopos now lets you assemble custom lens kits from anywhere in the library -- and the library just got a lot bigger. • CUSTOM LENS KITS -- Pick focal lengths from any series in the lens library and save them as a kit: your name, your glass, mixed makers welcome. Activate a kit and the viewfinder scrolls exactly those lenses -- each pill carries its real T-stop, close focus, and coverage, and the lens name follows through to the HUD and your PDF reports. • A BIGGER LENS LIBRARY -- Now over 2,270 lenses across 460+ series. • HONEST HALF-MILLIMETERS -- Fractional focal lengths now read true: a 9.5mm shows 9.5, not 10, in the pills, the rail, and the bar. Also in this release: your lens kits, favorites, and selected lens now travel with your iCloud backup, so restoring to a new phone brings your glass along with your photos.
