The ARRI 65-300mm T2.8 Signature Zoom Lens with 1.7x Extender (ARRI LPL, Feet) is an elite, high-end cine telephoto zoom engineered to seamlessly match the organic, warm character of ARRI’s Signature Prime lineup. It features a native LPL mount, covers a massive image circle accommodating large-format sensors (such as the ARRI Alexa LF, Mini LF, or Sony VENICE 2), and uses an Imperial (feet) focus scale.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
| Constant T2.8 Aperture: The lens maintains its fast T2.8 maximum light transmission entirely across the native 65-300mm zoom range, entirely eliminating exposure ramping while zooming. |
| Included 1.7x Tele-Extender: Attaching the purpose-built 1.7x Extender transforms the optics into a 110.5-510mm super-telephoto zoom range. With the extender engaged, the lens operates at a maximum aperture of T4.95. |
| 8K Resolving Power: The optical design features controlled flaring for clean high-dynamic-range (HDR) compatibility, delivering exceptional contrast and micro-resolution suited for high-fidelity 8K workflows. |
| Minimum Object Distance (MOD): Close focus measures 6 feet (1.8m) from the sensor plane or 52.52 inches (1.33m) from the front of the lens. |
| Form Factor & Weight: This heavy-duty telephoto unit weighs 17.8 lb (8.1 kg) on its own, expanding to 19.2 lb (8.7 kg) when combined with the extender. It features a substantial 156mm front outer diameter. |
| LDS-2 Lens Data System: Built-in next-generation metadata technology relays continuous frame-by-frame lens position, focus, and aperture metrics to the camera for real-time virtual production and VFX compositing pipelines. |
