JDC Xtal Xpress Anamorphic 4-Way Lens Set

  • £715.00/ Day

Anamorphic lenses rarely more characterful (and beautiful) than the JDC Xtal Xpress series.

Developed in the 1980s by the esteemed Joe Dunton Cameras (JDC) company (which was subsequently acquired by Panavision), Xtals have been used to lens many high profile feature films, including Star Wars Episode VI, Layer Cake, Guardians of the Galaxy and Ex Machina. They also remain a popular and enduring lens choice for cinematographers shooting music promos and commercials, especially when a striking and unique visual aesthetic is required.

Our 4-lens set of of JDC Xtal Xpress (pronounced “crystal express”) anamorphic lenses include the 35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 100mm focal lengths. Recently given a complete optical and mechanical overhaul, we are confident this is one of the finest sets of these acclaimed and rarefied lenses currently available for rental.

Recommended cameras for use with Xtals include the Sony Venice and ARRI Alexa Mini. Please get in touch with our bookings team if you would like to arrange test session with these lenses.

    Pronounced ‘soo-mee-ray’, Canon Sumires have been designed to offer a more subtle and gentler look than with most typical modern lenses, so offer an compelling alternative to using vintage glass. The set is supplied in PL mounts and will cover Full Frame sensors such as the Sony FX9, Sony Venice and ARRI Alexa Mini LF. But with full coverage of smaller image circles, they are also equally suitable for use on Super 35mm sensor cameras including the standard Alexa Mini and Sony FS7. The lenses are also compact and lightweight, making them suitable for use on gimbals and handheld shooting styles. Our Canon Sumire 7-lens set includes 14mm, 20mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm & 135mm focal lengths. All lenses in the series feature an 11-blade iris design and share a standard 114mm front diameter.
