ARRI/Fujinon

ARRI and Fujinon have joined their extensive expertise to create a completely new family of modern cine zooms. Using the latest in optical design technology and innovative manufacturing techniques, the ARRI/Fujinon Alura Zooms combine the highest optical performance with an amazingly small size, weight and price.

The wide Alura Zoom 18-80 and the long Alura Zoom 45-250 are a set of matched PL mount cine zooms for digital and film cameras. While they exhibit excellent optical performance, their size and weight has been kept practical, allowing crews to work fast on the set. The Alura Zooms combine the utmost in optical quality with speedy production efficiency.

Both lenses share a maximum open aperture of T2.6. Great care has been taken during the design phase to ensure that the T-stop remains truly consistent over the whole zoom range, avoiding the common decrease in light level across the zoom range (zoom ramping) of other zoom lenses. This is especially useful when the Alura Zooms are used on digital cameras, where a drop in light levels becomes quickly visible.

Alura Zooms are compatible with ARRI digital and film cameras as well as ARRI accessories. Like all other ARRI products, these zooms have been constructed to stringent environmental requirements for the rough conditions of professional production, be that in the Arctic or the Amazon. Equally important is fast and easy operation: large, easy-to-read precision focus scales on both sides of the lens make focus pulling a snap.
