The Cine-Xenar III's are the most current iteration of the Xenar line of glass. After extensive searching and testing we found that the Xenar III's were a great combination of the Arri Ultra Prime's sharpness/accuracy and Cooke's famous vintage character. The lenses are perfectly color matched and are the same size throughout, so switching between them is very simple.


The Below pictures are actual photographs that we took of the lenses for sale. More can be provided for interested parties:

[Martin Whittier]

These are great lenses, I own the same set and I would have loved to get them at this kind of deal.

 

[Michael Papavero]

Thanks for the Kind words Martin. We love these lenses too. It's gonna be sad to see them go, but our workflow is changing and we need to move to zooms.

These are great lenses, I own the same set and I would have loved to get them at this kind of deal.

Would you consider selling the 90mm lens alone? If so, how much would you sell it for?

 

[Michael Papavero]

Thanks for the interest Wynn. As of now we are only selling the glass as a set, but I'll reach out if that changes.

 

[Max Lapointe]

Is the carrying case carry-on sized ?

 

[Michael Papavero]

Unfortunatley the case is not carry on sized, but the four lenses could definitely fit in a carry on sized pelican. The case that Schneider provided is a large rolling case with custome cut slots for 6 lenses.

thanks

 

[David Rymer]

Do you sell each lens separatly? How much for 1 lens?

 

[Michael Papavero]

Hey David -- Unfortunately as of now we are only selling them as a set, But i will certainly reach out if that changes.

We have had requests for the 25mm and 95mm lenses as a single purchase, which one were you considering? (depending on your preference maybe we can make it work).

A single lens would be $6250 OBO ($7750 new)

 

[Michael Papavero]

$21,000 UNTIL AUGUST 1ST ONLY then back to previous sale price of $24,000 thanks
