Description — P+S TECHNIK 1.5x 40-70mm T3.2
The P+S TECHNIK TECHNOVISION 1.5x 40-70mm T3.2 is a professional anamorphic zoom lens engineered for the demands of cinema and video production. Covering a focal length range from 40mm to 70mm, it maintains a constant T3.2 aperture throughout — a key feature for cinematographers who need predictable exposure without adjustment as they zoom. The lens is built around a Super 35 image format and mounts via a PL Mount, the established standard in professional digital cinema.
Focus is manual, making it well suited to productions that rely on dedicated focus pullers and follow focus systems. With a body weight of 3.5kg, it is a substantial piece of glass that demands proper support rigging. There is no image stabilization, so use on a stabilized platform is recommended.
No filter thread size is specified in the available data. Overall, this lens is a purpose-built cinema tool designed for professional sets where optical consistency, anamorphic character, and reliable performance across a standard zoom range are priorities.
