ARRI Rental has just announced two new large-format lens series: the ARRI Rental ALFA and Moviecam lineups. The former takes the quality of the ARRI Master Anamorphic lenses one step further, while the latter leverages the sense of nostalgia by giving vintage glass a more modern look. Both series are available worldwide exclusively through ARRI Rental facilities. ARRI Rental’s sole mission is that of providing cinema and broadcast professionals around the world with the most advanced imaging technologies available today.
