Broad Compatibility. The ARRI 45-135mm T2.8 Signature Zoom covers a wide range of sensor sizes and cameras from any manufacturer, from Super 35 to large format. This lens is compatible with the ARRI LDS-2 lens data system, which streamlines setup, post-production, and VFX work.

Mid- to Long-Range Zoom. This 45-135mm zoom softens the large-format look, giving you natural skin tones and pleasing, rounded bokeh. You also get smooth focus fall-off for great subject/background isolation. The fast T2.8 maximum aperture means you don’t need ramping while you zoom. All of this combines to future-proof your production for 8K applications.

Cine Build. Compared to other cine zoom lenses, the ARRI 45-135mm is relatively compact and has a durable magnesium barrel. Its parfocal design ensures your focus point doesn’t shift during zooming, there’s a 26-inch minimum focusing distance, and the lens barrel features a focus scale in feet.

Lens Support Recommended. The 45-135mm is still relatively large at 8.3 lbs. and nearly 1 foot long, so you might want to rent a Wooden Camera 15mm Universal Lens Support to help support the lens’s weight when using a shoulder mount (not included) or other 15mm rail system.
