DULENS APO Cambrian Prime Series– Compact Medium Format Cine Lenses First Look

DULENS has unveiled its new APO Cambrian Prime series. A set of compact Medium Format lenses that range from 24-105mm. They all have a T2 aperture.

DULENS has been working on these lenses for the last 2 years.

They will all cover the ARRI ALEXA 65 and 265, as well as other cameras like the upcoming FUJIFILM ETERNA and Blackmagic Design URSA Mini 17K.

The average weight of the lenses is only 750g / 1.65 lbs, which makes them around 50% lighter than the Leica Thalia series.

According to DULENS, they maintain an average MTF exceeding 70% at 40lp/mm, and all primes show minimal chromatic aberration and have well-controlled breathing.

The look of the lenses is said to be a bit more modern than their previous offerings, but they will still have a vintage feel. The coatings are similar to the ones used on the Mini APO Primes, but they have reduced some of the ghosting.

The lenses are only available in PL mount, but there will be an EF mount coming in the future.

The lenses have an 80mm front diameter, and they will take 72mm front filters. DULENS also has a 2x Characteristic Filters set, as well as other rear and front filters coming.

Pricing & Availability

The DULENS APO Cambrian Prime Series is expected to start shipping in around 3 months and the expected price will be around $1,500-2,000 USD.
