UltraScope Elite Anamorphic Lens Set
£550.00
Add to kit list

UltraScope Elite anamorphic lenses have a unique look that we think places them somewhere between Kowa and LOMO anamorphics. So expect lots of flare, distinctive bokeh and pleasing skin tones. All lenses (with the exception of the 180mm focal length) share a common T2.2 maximum aperture, making them very fast for anamorphic lenses.

These lenses were manufactured in very small quantities (this is the only set we know of in the UK), so this could be great lens choice when you need to create a very distinctive visual aesthetic and counter the austere nature of digital camera sensors.

Our UltraScope Elite set includes 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, 100mm and 180mm focal lengths. All lenses have a 2x squeeze factor and front anamorphic elements.

ARRI’s Alexa Mini brings all of their digital cinematography knowledge and expertise together in one compact, lightweight package. This small yet powerful camera shoots at a variety of resolutions between HD and 4K and up to 200fps, making the Mini a versatile addition to the existing ARRI family of digital cinema cameras. As you’ve come to expect, we’ve tricked our Alexa Mini kits out with 4:3 anamorphic & ARRIRAW licenses, giving this bow yet another string.

The Alexa Mini has been designed with ease-of-use, both on set and in post-production, in mind. Utilising ProRes 422/4444 codecs, the extraordinary images this camera captures fit directly into your timeline and allow for quick editing and grading, saving your production time and money across the board.

We’ve geared our ARRI Alexa Mini kits to be as lightweight yet sturdy as possible, so each comes fully kitted-out with an ARRI professional accessory package and options of metal or carbon fibre bars – your choice. As one of the most physically versatile cameras on the market, the Mini is perfect for shooting on sticks, Steadicam or with handheld gimbals such as the MoVI Pro. Feel free to get in touch and arrange a demo or build a free prep day in one of our test spaces into your next production.

We also stock an ARRI EF adapter, giving you even more lenses to choose from. Whether you’re shooting on the fly and from the hip with DSLR zooms or with one of our PL lens packages, this camera does it all.

Shoot Blue have been my supplier of choice since 2007 ever since they were first recommended to me. Even if you're just doing a small shoot you're treated with the same care and attention as when you're on a big shoot and they go out of their way to accommodate your needs. Their prices are very competitive and the service is top notch and I always feel comfortable turning to them for advice and asking for recommendations on kit. When you hire their in house crew to work on your shoots the crew members are always really knowledgeable about the equipment and well trained, they are reliable and come to the set with a positive attitude and work hard to get the best results possible. I would highly recommend them to any independent filmmakers.
