Angénieux announced their new EZ-3 Zoom Lens. Covering 68-250 mm in Full Frame, and 45-165 mm in Super35, this is the third in the EZ Zoom series. These are not ordinary Full Frame lenses that happen to over-cover Super35. The IRO (Interchangeable Rear Optics) module lets you  use the same lens to swap between Full Frame format (up to 46.3mm image diagonal) and Super 35  (up to 30.4mm image diagonal). By swapping the rear IRO (Interchangeable Rear Optics) module, the lens becomes a wider and faster Super35 zoom. You can configure the lenses easily for S35 and FF formats by swapping the rear group yourself.

The new EZ-3 is even easier and faster to change from FF to S35 and back again thanks to a new, quick IRO technology mechanism. In fact, it takes less than 5 minutes and can be done on location. read more…
