Built for demanding cinematographers, this matched duo spans 26-85 mm with a constant T2.9 and pure 2× anamorphic squeeze. Both zooms project a Ø31.9 mm image circle, filling Super 35 sensors such as ALEXA 35 OG or RED V-RAPTOR 7K, while their amber-tinted flares (89.8°–45.1° at 26 mm; 33.9°–14.5° at 85 mm) add expressive warmth without overpowering contrast.
Internally, the 26-45 mm employs 21 elements/15 groups, the 45-85 mm uses 20 elements/14 groups. Despite the optics, each all-alloy barrel is only 19 cm long and 1.5 kg, ideal for gimbals and drones. The design is parfocal; focus holds through the 3.27× zoom span, breathing is minimal, and MTF stays flat edge-to-edge. Eleven-blade irises craft smooth oval bokeh, while aligned 0.8 MOD gears on focus, iris and zoom (270° focus rotation, 100° zoom, 42° iris) speed up motor setup.
Close-focus reaches 0.5 m (26-45 mm) and 0.9 m (45-85 mm), enabling dramatic widescreen close-ups. A rugged PL mount comes pre-installed; the bundled EF mount swaps in minutes. Optional RF, E, Z or L plates and the 1.4× expander extend usability to full-frame bodies. A common 77 mm filter thread and 80 mm front diameter integrate with lightweight matte boxes, and the shim-able rear seat simplifies multi-camera calibration. Weather-sealed ports protect against dust on set.
Owning the pair guarantees shot-to-shot consistency with the look of Proteus primes but half the weight, making them a go-to toolset for steadicam, vehicle rigs or handheld reportage. Expect bold 2.39:1 visuals, creamy roll-off and cinematic amber flare lines.
