SCENE 01 / LENS KITS
Cinema Lens Kits
Professional cinema glass for your Japanese production.
Here is how this works in practice. Lens kits bring together curated sets of prime or zoom lenses that cover the focal range a production needs. Pro cinema lenses give precise focus control, steady color rendering, and the optical traits that define a project's visual texture and depth.
Here is the short of it. We set up lens kit rentals matched to your cinematographer's preferences and your camera system's mount. Our team works with local rental houses to assemble complete lens packages, arranging prep time for testing and making sure backup options are ready if needed.

Cinema Glass Curated For Japanese Productions
Lens kits shape a film's optical signature. Japan's rental ecosystem gives us deep access to the glass that does the heavy lifting.
Here is how this works in practice. We line up full sets of Zeiss Master Primes, Supreme Primes, Cooke S4/i and S7/i, and ARRI Signature Primes through Imagica, Nagase Brothers, Yokohama Rental, and ARRI Rental partners. Full-frame coverage for ARRI Alexa LF and Sony Venice 2 packages runs between Tokyo studios and exterior shoots across Hokkaido, Osaka, and Kyoto. Cinema zooms from ARRI Alura, Fujinon Cabrio, Angenieux Optimo, and Cooke ship alongside primes when the schedule calls for fast focal-length shifts.
Here is the short of it. Anamorphic options come on give when a job wants that unique widescreen flare. We carry ARRI Master Anamorphic, Cooke Anamorphic/i, and curated vintage rehoused sets. We keep speed-Panchro and other vintage character glass on hand for shoots chasing softer rendering.
Here is the breakdown. Each lens is cleaned, collimated, and matched to the camera body during prep at our partner houses. Backup glass stays staged for multi-week shoots through Fukuoka and Nagoya. Follow focus systems and lens data cables travel with the package. Your DP gets a lens set that is ready to roll.
