Achieve a smooth, natural native look with optional vintage effects for large-format and full-frame cameras using the ARRI Enso 40mm T2.1 Prime Lens (ARRI LPL, Feet). Designed for versatility, the Ensō prime lenses allow you to create unique vintage aesthetics with a single compact set, while maintaining compatibility with ARRI LDS-2 and Cooke /i data systems.
Interchangeable Rear Optics
The Ensō series' rear optics let you quickly add one of six magnetic, separately available Vintage elements derived from the ARRI Impression filters for Signature lenses. Each look features a sharp center with a more strongly detuned effect at your frame's edges. Any focus scale adjustments are automatically compensated for when you use an ARRI Hi-5 FIZ hand unit. The Creative Adapter lets you create custom looks using nets, fabric, or any material that fits within its rings.
Shared Lens Characteristics
Each lens in the Ensō series has balanced optical parameters for a sharp overall look. All lenses feature ARRI LDS-2 and Cooke /i electronic lens communication that provides metadata to your compatible camera. A common 95mm front outside diameter enables you to use the same matte boxes and lens accessories across most of the series.
Natural, Sharp Imagery
This 40mm lens features a 1:4 magnification ratio and a T2.1 aperture to achieve both sharp close-ups and wide shots with stunning bokeh, gentle focus falloff, and minimal breathing. Gear rings on the lenses are in the same positions for intuitive swapping. Adjust the focus gear by 318° and the iris gear by 48°. Lens markings in feet help ensure precise adjustments.
Shared Color Profile
A shared color profile lets you intercut Ensō footage with scenes shot using ARRI Signature Primes and/or Signature Zooms.
Exceptional Close Focus
The Ensō lenses cover a wide range of focal lengths to capture everything from food photography to documentary footage. Their 1:4 magnification ratio means they all have close focus distances; this 40mm lens has an 11" minimum focus distance for close-up work.
