ARRI Leitz Cine THALIA 65 20mm T3.6 Cine 20mm
With a 60mm image circle covering up to 65mm sensors and a T3.6 aperture, its 15-blade diaphragm and 270° focus rotation produce a vintage film look with smooth focus roll-off. Interchangeable PL mount, support for Super 35 through 65mm formats, and Cooke /i lens data integration add versatility across multi-camera productions. This lens is best for cinematographers shooting large-format narrative work on ARRI ALEXA 65, RED, or Panavision systems who need a wide-angle prime with classic, dimensional rendering.
