SCENE 01 / LENS KITS
Cinema Lens Kits
Professional cinema glass for your Irish 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.

On Location
Atlas Orion anamorphics, Cooke S7/i, ARRI Signature Primes, Hawk V-Lite, and Zeiss Supreme glass prepped through TVM Ireland, Pyramid Camera, ARRI Rental Dublin, and cross-border London houses
Here is how this works in practice. Lens kits in Ireland route through the same Section 481 32 percent and 40 percent regional uplift rental cluster that builds the bodies. TVM Ireland Dublin carries the deepest anamorphic inventory anchored by Atlas Orion sets (the Banshees of Inisherin look that defined the 2022 Achill and Inishmore shoot). Cooke S7/i. ARRI Signature Primes, and Master Anamorphics; Pyramid Camera Dublin runs Zeiss Supreme Primes and Hawk V-Lite sets that shipped on Foundation Apple TV+ and Vikings Ashford; ARRI Rental Dublin holds the dedicated Signature Prime, Signature Zoom, and Master Prime stock that prestige series request by name; Camera Hire Belfast supplied the Game of Thrones lens roster across all eight seasons through Titanic Studios.
Here is the short of it. Vintage and rehoused glass — Cooke Speed Panchros, Kowa anamorphics, Lomo round-front — sources through TVM specialty hires and cross-border from London via the CTA seamless border with the United Kingdom on a same-day ferry or air-freight routing through DUB or BFS.
Here is the breakdown. We supply lens packages prep-tested at the starting cage with collimation logged, focus marks calibrated, T-stop verified, and witness charts shot to confirm matched sets for multi-camera coverage. For Atlantic maritime climate weatherproofing across the Wild Atlantic Way, Cliffs of Moher. Skellig Michael UNESCO. Aran Islands, and Donegal Slieve League we ship rain covers, lens hoods, and silica desiccant packs in dedicated Peli-case staging. When a specialty set isn't held in Dublin or Belfast stock. Panavision Primo 70, Cooke SF anamorphics, or vintage rehoused Bausch & Lomb Super Baltars.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. This includes we cross-border to ARRI Rental London. Panavision London, or Pinewood London under the CTA frictionless border (no carnet needed for UK-start gear). Revenue Commissioners ATA carnet routes Schengen and non-UK European stock through DUB Dublin Airport. ORK Cork, or SNN Shannon with records processed through the same coordinator handling the rental booking, keeping the focus puller's prep day clear of customs friction.
