Available in two formats, Standard and Lite, with weights of approximately 799 and 738 grams, respectively, this manual focus lens is ideal for use on gimbals and car rigs to suit run and gun productions and active shooting. Features include a parfocal design that keeps the subject sharply focused when zooming, low distortion and barely detectable focus breathing. The lens covers angles of view from 107 to 71.6 degrees and its optical design consists of 18 elements in 12 groups with 11 diaphragm blades that can create 22-point sunstars at the minimum aperture of T22. The minimum focusing distance is 33 cm, with a maximum magnification of 0.145x. The lens accepts 77 mm diameter filters.
By default, this lens is fitted with an ARRI PL mount and an interchangeable EF bayonet is supplied as an additional option.
