Alura Studio Zoom in action.

Alura Studio Zooms

Using the latest in optical design technology and innovative manufacturing techniques, the ARRI Alura Zooms combine the highest optical performance with an amazingly small size, weight and price. They are available as Studio zooms for use on a tripod or crane with a wider focal range, or as lightweight zooms which are significantly smaller and lighter in exchange for a reduced focal range. 

All Alura Zooms' color characteristics, as well as their handling, are matched to existing prime lenses in ARRI's outstanding repertoire.

Quotes

I've never been so excited about a new lens as I was when the Alura Zoom 45-250 came out.

Cinematographer Shi Luan (Known for: Falling Flowers, The Great Revival, Secret Fruit and many more)

I used the Alura 45-250 in Arctic snowstorms as well as in the heat of the desert.

With the Alura Zoom, there was no sign of chromatic abberation, flare was well controlled and, in the grading suite, it matches well with the Master Primes.
