product details

The Service Vision Scorpio 2x 138–405mm anamorphic zoom is one of the longest anamorphic cine zooms available, offering extraordinary telephoto reach. With a 2x squeeze, and designed for use with large format cameras, it enables ultra-long shots in anamorphic widescreen, a historically difficult type of shot. The 138-405 mm zoom range is formidable. Available for rental or sub-rental at Cine Visuals.

Service Vision Scorpio 138-405mm Zoom

Image Fidelity & Focus

Optically, the lens delivers strong center sharpness with softer edges, warmth, controlled contrast, and expressive bokeh. Falloff is smooth, compressing space with long focal lengths while retaining anamorphic depth. They feature close focus capabilities not found in most anamorphic designs. Chromatic aberrations are controlled for such a long zoom, though edge aberrations can appear wide open.

Handling & Adaptability

At 7.2 lbs. (3.3 kg), the Scorpio zoom weighs significantly more than standard primes or zooms. It’s large, heavy, and requires studio-style support. Its ergonomics are solid, with cine-standard focus, iris, and zoom rings, but it is best suited for tripod or crane use. Adaptability is primarily PL mount, aligning with high-end cinema cameras.

Flare & Bokeh

Flares are well controlled, not providing elaborate horizontal streaks that are common with more vintage anamorphics.

Image Circle

The Service Vision Scorpio 2x 138–405mm anamorphic zoom covers Full Frame and VistaVision sensors (37.4 mm image circle). The set requires a 2.39:1 crop of the full frame sensor area.

Cinematic Heritage

Service Vision introduced the Scorpio 138–405mm in the 2010s to meet demands for wildlife, sports, and action cinematography in scope format. Historically, anamorphic zooms had rarely exceeded 300mm.
