Once again, ARRI is making waves in the industry with the announcement of their new native 4K, large-format camera system.
Today at the BSC Expo in London, ARRI unveiled their next step in camera and filmmaking innovation with the announcement of their new large-format camera system that is accessible while still pushing industry boundaries. The new addition will be a welcome option instead of the usual upscaling from 2.6K to 4K. Unlike the ALEXA 65, the new ALEXA LF aims to be much more accessible to working DPs. Let’s take a look at what these industry leaders have released into the wild.

ARRI is also offering a new lens mount:
Though the new lens mount and lens system is far superior to anything they’ve put out in the past, the new mount will still be compatible with previous PL mounts and other ARRI accessories.
