Arri Alexa Mini
Compact, lightweight, and self-contained - ARRI ALEXA Mini is the small and versatile allrounder in the ARRI camera family. The symmetrical design permits filming in any orientation, including upside-down and in portrait mode, while multiple accessory points enable highly creative mounting solutions. In addition, ALEXA Mini comes with a series of interchangeable lens mount, allowing the use of B4 video, EF mount stills lenses, or with the even ARRI Signature Primes with the LPL mount for ALEXA Mini.

Zeiss Supreme Prime
The ZEISS Supreme Prime 35mm T1.5 lens features an interchangeable PL mount and is marked in feet. The lens produces a 46.3mm image circle, covering full-frame sensors. The internal focus design provides minimal focus breathing and a non-rotating front. The focus ring rotates 300° from a close focus of 13" to infinity, providing plenty of room for precise focus pulls.
The iris is made up of 16 blades arranged to create circular, out-of-focus highlights. Both the focus and iris rings incorporate industry standard 0.8 MOD, 32-pitch drive gears, and the lenses within the Supreme lineup share the same gear positions, making for rapid lens changes.

Fujinon Premista
The Premista family is FUJINON’s brand for high-end cinema productions that demand accurate glass to be paired with large sensors. The family was announced at NAB 2019 and had drawn a lot of interest among filmmakers and enthusiasts who like to shoot with large sensor cinema cameras. The Premista Series aimed to provide high resolution, attractive bokeh ( these lenses were the first to use a 13-blade iris diaphragm to create circular bokeh), and rich gradations that make it ideal for HDR imaging.
