SCENE 01 / LENS KITS
Cinema Lens Kits
Professional cinema glass for your French production.
Lens kits bring together curated sets of prime or zoom lenses that cover the focal range a production needs. Professional cinema lenses offer precise focus control, consistent color rendering, and the optical characteristics that define a project's visual texture and depth.
We coordinate 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 ensuring backup options are available if needed.

Cinema lens kits curated for French productions
Here is how this works in practice. Lens selection in France draws on one of the most complete cinema glass inventories in Europe. Panavision Alga's Primo and anamorphic sets, ARRI Rental's Signature Primes and Master Anamorphics, TSF's Cooke S4/i and S7/i lineup, and RVZ's vintage Speed Panchro rehouses. We assemble lens kits against the DP's reference frames and the camera mount in play, whether that means a full LPL Signature set for an Alexa 35 feature at Cité du Cinéma, a Cooke S7/i kit for a Sony Venice 2 commercial moving between Paris and the Côte d'Azur, or a hand-picked vintage glass package for a Provence-set period drama.
Here is the short of it. Our team books prep days at the rental house closest to your basecamp, runs projector and back-focus tests against the actual camera body, and sets up cross-rentals when a specific focal length only sits at a partner house in Lyon or Bordeaux. Every kit ships with protective cases, lens data cabling where applicable, and matched follow-focus motors and wireless lens control. Backup lenses stay reachable from Paris on a same-day delivery clock. So a damaged element on a moving location is replaced inside the same shooting day rather than blocking the schedule.
