Cinema Lens Kits
Professional cinema glass for your Australian production.
Lens kits bring together curated sets of prime or zoom lenses that cover the focal range a production needs. Professional cinema lenses offer precise focus control, consistent color rendering, and the optical characteristics that define a project's visual texture and depth.
We coordinate lens kit rentals matched to your cinematographer's preferences and your camera system's mount. Our team works with local rental houses to assemble complete lens packages, arranging prep time for testing and ensuring backup options are available if needed.

Cinema Lens Kits and Anamorphic Glass Across Australia
Cinema lens inventory in Australia covers the full range of current large-format glass. Cooke S7/i and S8/i Full-Frame Plus primes sit on Cameraquip and Lemac floors in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Zeiss Supreme Primes and Supreme Prime Radiance hold court for clean current looks. ARRI Signature Primes and Signature Zooms ship from ARRI Australia in Sydney for LF and Mini LF builds.
Here is how this works in practice. Panavision Australia stocks its proprietary Panavision Primo, Primo 70, Sphero 65, and System 65 ranges for Millennium DXL2 and ALEXA 65 packages. Atlas Orion and Tribe7 Blackwing7 cover character primes. Anamorphic stock includes ARRI Master Anamorphic, Cooke Anamorphic/i and SF, Panavision T-Series and G-Series, and Vantage Australia's Hawk C-Series, V-Series, V-Lite, and V-Plus from the Munich-built Vantage Film range. Angenieux Optimo 24-290, 28-340, and EZ-1 / EZ-2 zooms ship across all three eastern-seaboard depots; Leitz M 0.8 for stills-to-cinema hybrid builds.
Heritage productions have shaped Australian lens choice. John Seale ASC ran ARRI Master Anamorphic on Mad Max: Fury Road's Village Roadshow Gold Coast finishing block. Bill Pope ASC carried Cooke Speed Panchros on Matrix at the old Fox Studios. David Tattersall BSC shot Star Wars II and III on Sony HDW-F900 with Panavision Primo Digital primes — the first major feature to use 24P HD cinema.
Here is the short of it. Mandy Walker ACS ASC selected Panavision Primo 70 for Elvis at Village Roadshow Gold Coast under her Best Picture Oscar nom. Don Burgess ASC ran Cooke S7/i FF Plus on Aquaman; Don McAlpine ACS ASC followed with Lost Kingdom. Vintage Cooke Speed Panchros rehoused by TLS UK ship cross-border in 14-hour direct Qantas freight via ATA carnet. Vantage Australia handles Hawk anamorphic distribution from its Munich-headquartered parent. NZ cross-border specialty stock arrives in three Qantas hours from Auckland Camera Hire and Panavision NZ.
