Innovative lens manufacturer Venus Optics has introduced the first zoom into its growing range of cine lenses. With a 4x zoom range, the 25-100mm T2.9 OOOM lens creates a set of focal lengths that provide an all-in-one solution for serious filmmakers – not least because a compatible anamorphic converter and 1.4x extender are promised for the lens later this year..

Having been shown at trade fairs for over the last two years, pricing and availability for the lens have now been announced – and at $5,000 it is priced to attract attention. It is now available for pre-order in Arri PL, Sony E or Canon EF mounts.
