Versatile 50-130 mm Cine Zoom
The 50-130 mm focal range offers flexible medium-to-telephoto framing without the need to change lenses during production.
At 50 mm, the lens is suitable for medium shots, portraits, and subject-focused compositions. At 130 mm, it provides tighter framing and a narrower angle of view.
The 2.6× zoom ratio supports practical reframing for documentaries, interviews, and cinematic productions.
Super 35 / APS-C Coverage
The lens covers Super 35 / APS-C sensors with a 31.5 mm image circle.
It is designed for compatible cinema cameras operating within this image circle and is not intended to provide full-frame coverage across the entire sensor area.
Constant T2.9 Aperture
The maximum T2.9 transmission aperture remains constant throughout the entire zoom range, helping maintain consistent exposure as focal length changes.
This is particularly useful for continuous zoom moves and shooting in challenging lighting conditions.
The aperture range extends from T2.9 to T22, while the 11-blade iris contributes to smooth out-of-focus rendering.
Parfocal Design and Minimal Focus Breathing
The parfocal design is engineered to maintain precise focus while the focal length changes.
This helps keep subjects sharp during continuous zoom moves, minimizing the need to refocus after every zoom adjustment.
Near-invisible focus breathing reduces framing changes during focus pulls, supporting smooth and consistent visual storytelling.
Advanced Optical Performance
The optical formula consists of 17 elements in 13 groups, designed to deliver sharp, high-contrast images with accurate color reproduction.
This optical construction supports consistent image quality throughout the zoom range for professional filmmaking applications.
The lens offers 0.18× maximum magnification, equivalent to a 1:5.55 reproduction ratio, allowing relatively close detail shots.
Professional 0.8 MOD Cine Gears
The focus, iris, and zoom rings feature industry-standard 0.8 MOD gearing for compatible follow-focus systems and external cinema lens motors.
The focus ring provides 270° rotation, while the zoom and iris rings rotate 100° and 42° respectively.
Unified gear positioning across the Ranger S35 series helps simplify lens changes and minimize accessory adjustments.
Interchangeable ARRI PL Mount
The lens includes an interchangeable ARRI PL mount.
Separately available mount options include Canon RF, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, Sony E, and L-Mount.
This flexibility allows the lens to be adapted to compatible camera systems for different production requirements.
The lens does not support electronic communication with the camera body. Controls are manual or operated through compatible cinema accessories.
Precise Manual Focus with Dual Scales
The 270° focus rotation enables precise and repeatable manual adjustments for cinematographers and camera assistants.
Focus marks are printed in both meters and feet, accommodating different production workflows.
A 75 cm minimum focus distance supports relatively close subject and detail shots.
77 mm Filter Thread and 80 mm Front Diameter
The lens features a 77 mm front screw-in filter thread, allowing compatible filters to be attached directly.
The outside front diameter measures 80 mm, separate from the filter thread dimension.
Its compact front design is convenient for compatible mobile filming setups and lightweight accessories.
Lightweight and Compact Construction
Measuring approximately 135.89 mm in length and weighing around 662 g, the lens is designed for compact cinema setups.
Its lightweight design makes it suitable for compatible gimbal, drone, and handheld systems, provided the complete camera rig meets the relevant payload requirements.
An included lens support foot provides a 1/4"-20 mounting interface.
Optional 1.33× Anamorphic Adapter
The lens can be used with a compatible front-mounted 1.33× anamorphic adapter, available separately.
This optional accessory expands creative possibilities for cinematic aspect ratios and production formats, subject to system compatibility.
