Optical & Mechanical Design
Optical Construction
The lens features a 14-element, 14-group optical design that maintains clarity and contrast across the entire zoom range. The 11-blade iris helps create round, cinematic out-of-focus highlights.

Focus, iris and zoom rings are equipped with 0.8 MOD cine gearing for use with follow focus systems. Generous rotation angles of 270° for focus, 42° for iris and 100° for zoom allow for accurate, repeatable adjustments.
