A scaled-up version of the ALEXA XT IFM-1 in-camera ND filter system is also now available for the ALEXA 65. The new IFM-65 allows ALEXA 65 cameras to use behind the lens, full-spectrum ND filters, optimizing image quality and delivering the full performance of the Prime 65 and Vintage 765 lenses by reducing the risk of multiple reflections that stacked external filter systems can create. The FSND (Full Spectrum Neutral Density) filters used with the IFM-65 provide neutral color balance at all of the eight available densities, from ND 0.3 to ND 2.4.

An exciting new lens option has been added to the already successful lineup of Prime 65 and Vintage 765 lenses for the ALEXA 65. The compact 50-110 mm Zoom 65 weighs just 1.6 kg and produces the same overall image quality as a prime lens, given its impressively high contrast and resolution. ARRI's Lens Data System (LDS) is also integrated into the 50-110 mm Zoom 65, making it the only zoom lens in this format that can supply metadata to the camera.

Other user benefits of the ALEXA 65 update include the same Viewfinder Smooth Mode as featured in ALEXA XT cameras and a programmable monitoring feature called Smart Zoom, which allows users to zoom into the Monitor Out image in any one of seven pre-determined areas for more accurate focus assessments.
