Spectacular AoV
Ultra-wide angle lenses are highly sought by cinematographers because of their versatility in framing – able to capture landscapes and close-ups simultaneously. Featuring a 107° angle of view, breathtaking scenes can be captured in single shots.
Constant T2.9 Large Aperture
For some zoom lenses in the market, there’s a light loss when zooming. The scene appears to be dimmer when it is zoomed in. Maintaining a constant T2.9 aperture throughout the zoom range allows cinematographers to have the same exposure and ISO setting for multiple scenes.
Excellent Colour Rendition & Contrast
Designed with modern optical formula, this tiny 16-30mm image quality is excellent, offering good sharpness contrast.
The colour rendition of the whole series is matched for use as a set.
Parfocal Design
While some cine zoom lenses in the market are varifocal, all 3 Ranger lenses are built with a parfocal design – keeping the object in focus despite zooming in or back out.
Short Min. Focusing Distance
The focusing distance of the Ranger 16-30mm is 33cm (1’11”).
Shoot close at T2.9 can separate the subject from the background and create a painterly depth of field with smooth bokeh.
Unnoticeable Focus-breathing
Focus breathing is usually more visible in zoom lenses than in primes, and it can be distracting for shooting video.
This 16-30mm has almost invisible focus breathing, ensuring a smooth and seamless focus shift performance.
Low Distortion
The optical distortion of the lens is controlled to the minimum even with the ultra-wide angle of view.
Straight lines are retained from edge to edge.
