Arri recently announced the ARRI Ensō lenses. These are Full Frame lenses designed from the ground up. The range consists of 14 lenses, 2 extenders, 16 focal lengths.

You are engaged with your surroundings, but your thoughts are untroubled by anything beyond the act of creation.
This is an ideal state of mind on set, and it is only possible if you have complete trust in your tools.
