Supports ARRI Lens Data System (LDS)
Color Matched to ARRI Primes and Zooms
“The ARRI Alura 15.5-45mm T2.8 is the industry’s definitive answer for high-quality wide-angle coverage when you simply do not have the time—or the budget—to swap between three different prime lenses. Born from a collaboration between ARRI’s optical engineers and Fujinon’s glass manufacturing, this lightweight zoom (only 4.9 lbs) offers a ‘best of both worlds’ solution: the speed and sharpness of a prime with the versatility of a zoom.
For productions in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, where fast-paced music videos and high-end commercials are the norm, the Alura is a secret weapon. Its compact size makes it perfectly balanced for Steadicam and gimbal use, allowing operators to fly a single lens that covers the essential wide-to-medium focal lengths (16mm, 24mm, 32mm, 40mm) without ever re-balancing the rig. This efficiency is critical when chasing the perfect sunset light on South Beach or moving quickly through multiple locations in Wynwood.
Optically, the Alura is designed to integrate seamlessley into the high-end ARRI ecosystem. It is meticulously color-matched to the ARRI Master Primes and Ultra Primes, ensuring that your A-Camera and B-Camera footage cuts together perfectly in the edit. The advanced optical design features Fujinon’s EBC coating to minimize ghosting and flare, while maintaining the high contrast and ‘punchy’ blacks that ARRI sensors are famous for.
If you are shooting in Orlando or Kissimmee—hubs for corporate video, green screen, and studio work—the ARRI Lens Data System (LDS) is a game-changer. This built-in encoder automatically feeds precise focus, zoom, and iris information to the camera. This data is invaluable for VFX workflows, allowing post-production teams to map virtual backgrounds or stabilize footage with zero manual guesswork.
Furthermore, the Alura addresses the common complaints of cheaper zooms. It exhibits virtually zero breathing and maintains a constant T2.8 aperture throughout the entire zoom range. This means you never lose exposure when pushing in for a tighter frame—a massive advantage for documentary and run-and-gun crews in Tampa and St. Petersburg. The robust housing features a standard 114mm front diameter, making it compatible with the same matte boxes and filters you use on standard primes.
When you rent the ARRI Alura 15.5-45mm, you aren’t just renting a lens; you are renting speed. It allows indie films and commercial productions across Central and Southern Florida to move faster, shoot more setups per day, and achieve a cinematic Super 35 look without the heavy footprint of a full prime set.
Replaces 4 Primes: Covers 15.5mm to 45mm without a lens change.
Gimbal Ready: At just 2.2kg, it is ideal for stabilizers and handheld work.
ARRI LDS: Streamlines post-production for VFX and focus tracking.
Constant T2.8: No exposure ramping, perfect for documentary work.”
What does the ARRI LDS feature do?
The ARRI Lens Data System (LDS) automatically reads the focus, zoom, and iris settings from the lens and transmits this data electronically to the camera. This metadata is recorded with the footage to simplify VFX compositing, 3D tracking, and focus mapping in post-production.
Is the ARRI Alura color-matched to ARRI primes?
Yes. The ARRI Alura zooms were engineered specifically to match the color characteristics, contrast, and skin tone rendition of ARRI Master Primes and Ultra Primes. This allows DPs to switch between zooms and primes on the same shoot without creating a color grading headache.
Does this lens cover a full-frame sensor?
No. The ARRI Alura 15.5-45mm is a Super 35 (S35) lens with an image circle of 31.5mm. It is fully compatible with cameras like the ARRI ALEXA Mini (in S35 mode), RED KOMODO, or Sony VENICE (in S35 crop mode).
