Angenieux EZ-3:
The Angenieux EZ-3 zoom lens supports both the Super35 and FF/VistaVision formats. The rear lens group, or IRO, can change the lens from a 45mm-165mm zoom that covers Super35 sensor, to a 68mm-250mm zoom that covers a full-frame image circle. Swapping between the Interchangeable Rear Optics block doesn’t affect the physical length of the lens or minimum focus distance. The relatively fast T2.3 maximum aperture in Super35 and the T3.5 in full frame enables you to light to a lower level than would normally be required for many zooms. The lens itself has 3 manual lens control rings: focus, iris, and zoom. The EZ-3 zoom’s Focus/Iris/Zoom gears occupy the same positions as the EZ-1 and EZ-2, enabling it to use the same accessories. Each ring features cine-style 0.8 MOD gear teeth, for compatibility with follow focus units and lens control motors. The EZ-3 shares the same 114mm front common to the Angenieux OPTIMO lens series, enabling you to easily share matte boxes between the EZ-3 and the OPTIMO lenses, and a 105mm thread lets you add filters to the front of the lens when you want to eliminate the weight of a matte box. This EZ-3 zoom lens comes standard with an ARRI PL mount, which you can ask to be swapped out with a Canon EF mount for compatibility with a wide variety of cameras.
