ANGENIEUX EZ-2 S35 15-40mm Rental

The Angénieux Type EZ-2 S35 15-40mm T2 is the wide-angle zoom of Angénieux’s Type EZ family — the natural and inseparable companion to the EZ-1 S35 30-90mm T2 and the most compact, lightweight, and fast lens in the range: designed to cover the wide-angle focal range in Super 35 format with an exceptional constant aperture of T2 throughout its entire range and the same unmistakable Angénieux organic, soft, and cinematic look. With a zoom factor of 2.7x and a range of 15 to 40mm, the EZ-2 covers from extreme wide angle — 15mm in S35 — to mid-range, completing together with the EZ-1 a continuous focal coverage from 15mm to 90mm with identical colour, visual character, and front diameter. Its most innovative feature is Angénieux’s IRO (Interchangeable Rear Optics) technology, which allows the lens to be converted from a 15-40mm T2 in Super 35 to a 22-60mm T3 in Full Frame / Vista Vision simply by swapping the rear optical block, with no factory service required and in just minutes on set.

Its image is Angénieux in compact wide-angle format: soft, organic, warm, and cinematically very rich — with natural and balanced colour rendition, controlled and very low distortion for a 15mm wide angle, soft flares with great visual personality, and exceptional performance across the full aperture range from T2. With a PL mount (also available in EF), an internal focus system — the total lens length is unaffected by focusing —, 300° of focus rotation, minimal breathing, a uniform 114mm front diameter for direct use with industry-standard matte boxes, a weight of just 1.5 kg, and a length of 208mm, the EZ-2 is one of the most compact, lightweight, and fast Super 35 wide-angle cinema zooms on the market.
