Full Frame Advantage
The Premista series is designed to fully utilize large-format sensors. When pairing these lenses with cameras like the ARRI Alexa LF, Sony VENICE, or RED Monstro, you’ll benefit from a wider field of view, shallower depth of field, and enhanced cinematic immersion.
Streamlined Workflow
The consistent front diameter and gear positions are a major time-saver on set. Organize your lens accessories (matte boxes, follow focus units) to take full advantage of this uniformity, allowing for quicker lens changes and reducing setup time.
Complementary Set
This 19-45mm is designed to complement the other Premista zooms, providing essential wide-angle coverage while maintaining the series’ optical and mechanical consistency.
HDR and High Resolution
These lenses are optimized for 4K and 8K capture, making them ideal for HDR workflows. Their high contrast and flare resistance contribute to superior image quality in high dynamic range scenarios.
Back Focus Maintenance
As with any high-end zoom lenses, regular back focus checks are crucial, especially when moving between different camera bodies or environments, to maintain sharp focus throughout the zoom range.
