ARRI BLACKWING BW7-S-TUNED-SINGLE-17MM-LENS-PL-MOUNT 17mm
The X-Tuned variant delivers a precisely calibrated, low-contrast look with controlled halation and smooth focus fall-off at a fast T1.9 aperture across full-frame sensors. Its compact, lightweight build and consistent 95mm front diameter across the Blackwing7 set streamline matte box and filter workflows on set. This lens is best for cinematographers seeking a vintage-inspired, flattering image for narrative film and commercial work without the inconsistency of rehoused stills glass.
