Complementing the 16-40 T2.8 and 30-76 T2.8, the Angenieux 48-130mm T3 Optimo Style Zoom Lens offers a 2.7x zoom range inside a compact lens while maintaining a relatively fast aperture.

Optically, this lens natively covers Super 35 formats, up to 34.6mm diagonal, including the RED Helium 8K sensor. Its light weight ensures that it can be used in payload-conscious situations, including scenarios with gimbals, remote heads, and steadicams. Coatings applied to the glass elements reduce flare and ensure that the lens will color-match with other Optimo and Optimo Style lenses. Precise focus mechanisms inside the lens reduce breathing and space.

Mechanically, the native PL mount interfaces with digital cinema cameras that use a standard ARRI PL mount. Other mount options, such as Canon EF or Panavision PV are available separately. The focus, zoom, and iris rings all feature 0.8 MOD cinema-standard gearing for lens control accessories, and the focus ring has a long 320° throw with 20 witness marks for precise focus pulls. A 114mm front diameter ensures compatibility with standard matte boxes and filters.

Whether you're shooting a feature film or a cinéma vérité documentary, cinematographers of all types can benefit from having a longer focal length lens that can be easily deployed and transport.

A: Yes, these DZO lenses will work on the Sony FS7 if you use them with an adapter like the Metabones EF/EF-S to Sony E-Mount Cine Fifth Generation adapter. Please note: These lenses ship with the PL mount attached. You will need to swap the PL mounts for the EF Mounts (included with the lenses) before you can use the adapter.

Q: 9. Does the E-mount adapter effect the focal length of the lens? I've primarily used the Wooden Camera PL adapter with the EZ2 on the Sony FX9 in the full 6K scan. Recently I used an EZ2 with the E-mount adapter on the same setup and the image seemed noticeably cropped.

A: no it does NOT, this is just a flange (FFD) matching adapter to allow the lens to mount, there are no optics in this adapter and it will and does not affect the lens focal length or optical performance

Q: 10. Is this an in-between adapter that connects lens-to-camera like that of a Metabones (or similar) adapter? Or does this replace the PL mount on the lens itself?

A: This is not an adapter, this is an actual E-Mount which you would install on the EZ-1 and EZ-2 Zoom Lenses to change the current mount on it. So that we may best assist you finding the proper product for your needs feel free to email us directly at askbh@bhphoto.com.
