Angenieux EZ-2:
Created to fill the wide gap between still photography and cinema lenses, the Angenieux EZ-2 from the Type EZ Series features three versatile zoom lenses at an affordable price. For the first time, excellent image quality and flexibility is available to cinematographers, ENG shooters, broadcasters, and creators of all backgrounds. Thanks to Angenieux’s innovative IRO (Interchangeable Rear Optics™) technology, the EZ-2 is compatible with Super 35 and Full Frame/Vista Vision cameras. Losing only 1/10 of a stop within the lens, the EZ-2 is extremely efficient. The fast T2.0 maximum aperture in Super 35mm matches the maximum aperture of many standard prime lenses for Super 35mm. This allows you to light to a lower illumination level than would normally be required for many zooms, making for more consistent images as you may not have to relight the scene as is often the case when moving from primes to slower zoom lenses. The lens is fast – T2.0 in Super35 and T3.0 in full-frame/VistaVision. Swapping between the rear lens groups doesn’t affect the physical length of the lens, minimum focus distance, or 2.7x zoom ratio. However, the full-frame rear lens group does change the lens from a 15 to 40mm zoom that covers Super35 to a 22 to 60mm zoom that covers the full-frame/VistaVision aperture. The lens itself has 3 manual lens control rings: focus, iris, and zoom. Each ring features cine-style 0.8 MOD gear teeth, for compatibility with follow focus units and lens control motors. The 114mm front diameter allows you to work with a wide variety of rod supported matte boxes.
