SCENE 01 / LENS KITS
Cinema Lens Kits
Professional cinema glass for your Turkish production.
Here is how this works in practice. Lens kits bring together curated sets of prime or zoom lenses that cover the focal range a production needs. Pro cinema lenses give precise focus control, steady color rendering, and the optical traits that define a project's visual texture and depth.
Here is the short of it. We set up 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 making sure backup options are ready if needed.

On Location
Istanbul's camera-rental houses carry deep cine-lens inventory — prime sets, zooms, anamorphics and vintage glass — built by Turkey's enormous 'dizi' television-drama industry.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. We source cine-lens kits — spherical and anamorphic prime sets, zoom ranges, specialty and vintage glass — from Istanbul rental houses, where the sheer volume of episodic 'dizi' production sustains full, today's lens inventory and the technicians to service it. Because Turkey is the world's second-largest exporter of TV series after the United States, full lens ranges are readily ready and competitively priced, with the favourable Turkish lira keeping hire costs well below comparable European markets.
Here is how the picture comes together. Our team scopes the lens kit against your camera mount, sensor format and the look the DP wants, then delivers collimated, inspected glass with the matte boxes and follow-focus hardware to match. For shoots moving between Istanbul stages and exteriors across Cappadocia. The Turquoise Coast, we plan lens logistics and supply backup glass on key focal lengths. Lens-kit hire from Turkish vendors counts as qualifying spend under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism cash rebates of up to 30%.
Here is what we have to work with. Lens kits imported for a production clear Turkish Customs under ATA Carnets and short-term-admission procedures, routed through Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gokcen (SAW), with Antalya (AYT) serving southern-coast shoots and overland entry from Europe ready given Turkey's position straddling two continents. We prepare carnet schedules so prime sets, zooms and anamorphics clear without delay alongside the camera bodies. Climate drives lens handling: hot, dry, dusty Mediterranean summers on the Antalya coast demand sealed cases and tight cleaning against grit on lens elements, while cold, snowy continental winters in Cappadocia and the interior bring condensation risk when glass moves between temperatures, and the wetter Black Sea coast adds moisture running.
Our team factors these conditions into prep and supplies climate-rated cases and cleaning kits as the shoot needs. Mains power is 230V/50Hz, and 20% VAT (KDV) applies to local hire.
