Shooting styles have become more mobile in the last decade, driving the creation of ever smaller and lighter equipment for Steadicam, handheld and remote work. Modern cameras like the ARRICAM Lite and the ARRIFLEX 235 allow the cinematographer to place the viewer right in the middle of the action with fast and dynamic movements. Zoom lenses, on the other hand, have been improving in optical quality at the cost of increased size and weight. ARRI and Zeiss have now used their combined experience and cutting edge technologies to create a compact lightweight cine zoom of the highest optical performance: the 15.5 - 45 mm, T2.6 Lightweight Zoom LWZ-1.

The Lightweight Zoom LWZ-1 is the only compact zoom that combines outstanding optical image quality - inherited from the Master Primes - with smooth mechanics and light weight. 4.4 Lbs (2kg) of radical spherical and aspherical lens elements, exotic glass materials and the T* XP anti-reflection coating ensure a sharp, high resolution image that covers the entire Super 35 frame and perfectly matches the other ARRI/Zeiss lenses.

The Lightweight Zoom LWZ-1 is the ideal lens for shooting in confined spaces like airplanes, car interiors or elevators. It is also great when a lightweight camera is needed for action sequences, and for applications where size and weight are at a premium, including Steadicam, handheld, remote heads, car rigs, motorcycle rigs, bicycle mounts, body mounts and underwater shoots. In addition, small size and light weight afford a more efficient shooting pace.
