DZO Arcana 1.5X Anamorphic Prime Lenses For Rent

Looking to give your next project an unmistakable, high-end cinematic look? The highly anticipated DZOFilm Arcana 1.5X Anamorphic Lenses are now available for rent at Shine Cine.

These full-frame lenses punch incredibly far above their weight class, delivering elite, cinema-grade performance in an ultra-compact, gimbal-friendly housing. If you want gorgeous widescreen character without the massive bulk of traditional anamorphic glass, this is the kit your production needs.

Key Features & Performance

• Stunning Quality Wide Open: Unlike older anamorphic lenses that get soft and blurry at lower T-stops, the Arcana series remains exceptionally sharp and completely usable wide open at T2.1. The optical resolution and center-to-edge quality are truly off the charts.

• The Perfect 2:1 Streaming Format: Featuring a versatile 1.5x squeeze factor, these lenses are a dream when paired with an Open Gate sensor. They desqueeze to a beautiful 2:1 aspect ratio—the ideal modern format for streaming series, independent movies, and high-end commercial content that demands a widescreen feel without feeling overly narrow.

• The Party Trick (2X-Style Oval Bokeh): DZO engineered these lenses with a unique hybrid optical path and a custom elliptical/oval iris. This allows the Arcana lenses to produce the deeply coveted, elongated "waterfall" bokeh typically only found on massive, heavy, and expensive 2X anamorphic lenses—all while keeping each lens around a nimble 700 grams.

Why Rent from Shine Cine?

At Shine Cine, we meticulously maintain, clean, and test every lens in our inventory to ensure flawless performance on your set. Because the Arcana primes (32mm, 45mm, 75mm) share near-identical weights and dimensions, they are perfect for rapid lens swaps on gimbals, drones, or handheld rigs.
