Angenieux ANG-EZ-2PACK-FH (ANGEZ2PACKFH, ANG/EZ/2PACK/FH, ANG EZ 2PACK FH, ANG-EZ-2PACK) EZ-2 Pack Zoom Lens.

The Angénieux Type EZ-2 is a lightweight wide zoom lens with a 2.7x zoom ratio and a focal range of 22-60mm. Featuring internal focus and zoom mechanics, it delivers the signature Angénieux look with a minimum object distance (MOD) of 0.6m. The lens includes in-lens thermal compensation, a precise focus ring, and luminescent markings for easy readability in low-light conditions. It comes with a PL mount but can be quickly converted by users to EF or E mount. Additionally, the lens is compatible with matte boxes designed for OPTIMO and OPTIMO STYLE compact zooms.

The Angénieux Type EZ series is built for both Super 35mm digital motion picture cameras and larger-sensor cameras like Full Frame or VistaVision, providing flexibility and high-quality optics for independent videographers and cinematographers at an accessible price. With convertible lens mounts and compatibility across various camera models, this lens series is a valuable investment for professionals in the industry.

The Angenieux Type EZ-2 FF/VistaVision is a wide zoom lens with a 2.7x zoom factor, offering a focal range of 22-60mm and an aperture of F2.8/T3. By switching the rear lens group, it converts to a 15-40mm F1.9/T2 lens that covers an image circle up to 30mm diagonal.

Designed with the same concept as the Optimo 44-440 A2S, the EZ Type Series is adaptable for both Super 35mm digital cinema cameras and larger-sensor cameras such as Full Frame or VistaVision. Bridging the gap between basic still photography zooms and the acclaimed Optimo/Optimo Style cine lenses, the EZ series provides high optical quality at a cost-efficient price, catering to the needs of independent videographers and cinematographers seeking cinematic expression tools.

The fast T3 aperture allows for exceptional control over depth of field, previously only achievable with prime lenses. Angenieux innovative design enables easy conversion of lens mounts and image circle size, making the EZ series a strong, flexible investment for industry professionals. This lens offers ENG-style productions the versatility needed for run-and-gun shooting without compromising on optical quality.

Housed in a robust metal casing with internal thermal drift compensation, the EZ-2 maintains constant focus across temperature shifts. Its precise focus, zoom, and T-stop controls are enhanced by the wide rotation angle of the three control rings, each equipped with cinema-standard gear teeth. The internal focusing and zooming mechanism ensures consistent lens size throughout the zoom range. Users can also reconfigure the lenses for different imaging formats and mounts on their own without needing a service center.

The full-frame EZ zooms are compatible with a range of high-resolution cameras, including the RED 8K VV, ARRI Alexa Open Gate, ARRI Alexa 65 (VistaVision crop), and Full Frame DSLRs like the Sony a7S Mark II, Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, 5DS, 1DX Mark II, and more. Additional accessories, including detachable ENG-style zoom servo grips, are currently in development.

The Type EZ series meets the needs of independent creators looking for affordable tools that provide cinematic quality. With its fast T3 aperture, flexible mount options, and professional-grade image circle, the Type EZ series is a valuable asset for cinematographers and videographers alike.
