Why an anamorphic zoom?
Using a zoom reduces the equipment required compared to traditional 2x anamorphic setups, thus allowing for shooting with a lighter crew.
The series offers a range of focal lengths that allow you to adjust framing and perspective without having to frequently change lenses, increasing versatility on set.
It provides various zoom effects (fast zooms, dolly zooms, slow zooms) for creative storytelling.
Constant 2X Compression Ratio
The 2x compression ratio delivers a more pronounced widescreen aspect ratio (typically 2.39:1 or wider when decompressed), delivering a classic cinematic look with enhanced oval bokeh and more intense flare effects that define anamorphic storytelling, as favored in Hollywood productions.
Compared to 1.33x or 1.5x, which produce softer widescreen ratios (e.g., 1.78:1 or 2.0:1) and subtler distortions, the 2x squeeze offers greater creative control and a more dramatic visual signature, in line with the Sunlight series' goal of bold, expressive cinematography.
Lightweight and Compact
Weighing just 2.8 kg (40-80 mm) and 2.6 kg (70-135 mm) and measuring 242 mm in length, the Sunlight series redefines portability for anamorphic zooms. This compact design reduces the payload for cinematographers, making it easier to move between scenes and positioning it as a highly portable option among similar full-frame 2x anamorphic zoom lenses.
Versatile Zoom Range
With coverage from 40mm to 135mm, the series offers a 2x (40-80mm) and ~1.93x (70-135mm) zoom range, accommodating a variety of shooting scenarios, from expansive landscapes to close-up portraits.
This versatility eliminates the need for frequent lens changes, improving efficiency on set.
Constant T4.5 Aperture
The constant T4.5 aperture throughout the zoom range ensures consistent brightness, eliminating light loss during zooming.
This reliability supports consistent exposure, making it ideal for fast-paced shooting that requires continuous focal length adjustments.
The T4.5 aperture also allows for shooting in low-light conditions.
Reduced Focus Breathing
Reduced focus breathing ensures stable framing during focus adjustments, making the Sunlight series ideal for dynamic scenes where consistent composition is crucial.
