During IBC 2024, VILTROX announced a new massive cine zoom lens, the LUNA 42-420mm T5.6. This 10x zoom lens has an extremely large image circle of 60mm and comes with an ARRI LPL mount, so it’s ready for the next generation of large-format cameras. The lens should become available towards the end of this year for around $100,000.

But if you think that was impressive, then hold on tight.
