The ARRI Ultra Wide Zoom (UWZ) 9.5-18mm T2.9 is a groundbreaking telecentric lens that represents the first super wide-angle zoom specifically engineered for the professional cinema market. Designed to deliver optical performance that rivals or exceeds high-end wide-angle primes, this lens is celebrated for its virtually distortion-free imaging—maintaining straight lines even at its widest 9.5mm setting and close focus. Its massive 34.5mm image circle makes it “future-proof,” comfortably covering large-format sensors like the ARRI Alexa Mini LF and Open Gate 3.4K. With a near-telecentric design that ensures uniform illumination from center to corner and the integrated Lens Data System (LDS) for streamlined VFX workflows, the UWZ is the ultimate tool for architectural cinematography, expansive vistas, and high-quality plate shots.

Key Features:
Distortion-Free Wide-Angle Range: Features less than 1% distortion at 9.5mm and nearly 0.1% at 18mm for perfectly straight architecture.
Large 34.5mm Image Circle: Optimized for large-sensor digital cameras and future-proofed for expanding sensor formats.
Telecentric Optical Design: Provides highly uniform field illumination across the entire frame, eliminating shading and vignetting.
Consistent T2.9 Aperture: Maintains a fast and constant maximum aperture throughout the 1.9x zoom range.
Fixed Entrance Pupil Position: Eliminates parallax errors during pans and tilts, making it ideal for complex VFX and plate photography.
Virtually No Focus Breathing: Sophisticated internal mechanics ensure a stable frame during significant focus adjustments.
Integrated ARRI LDS: Built-in Lens Data System provides precise metadata for focus, iris, and zoom settings in post-production.
