SCENE 01 / LENS KITS
Cinema Lens Kits
Professional cinema glass for your Czech 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
Cinema lens kits — prime, zoom and anamorphic — are assembled from Prague's deep rental houses, one of Europe's most established pools of cine glass, built around decades of service production at Barrandov.
Here is how this works in practice. We set up lens kit rentals tied to your cinematographer's preferences and your camera system's mount, drawing on Prague's mature rental market. Part of one of Europe's deepest gear ecosystems, the 'Hollywood of the East'. The Prague glass pool, built up serving global shoots on the Barrandov stages, carries full sets of today's primes, large-format optics, cinema zooms and anamorphic and vintage rehoused lenses. Our team works with local rental houses to assemble complete packages, arranges prep time for projection and back-focus checks and keeps backup options ready. For specialty or vintage glass not held in-country, lenses move freely by road from Germany and Austria within the EU single market and Schengen, with no carnet needed for EU transport.
Here is the short of it. Lens logistics in the Czech Republic reflect both EU membership and a land-based climate. Cold, snowy winters bring condensation risk and need careful acclimatisation as glass moves between heated interiors and exterior units, while the country's different locations — the period build style of Prague, the castles at Karlstejn and Loket, Cesky Krumlov and Karlovy Vary — shape lens choices, with vintage and anamorphic glass often selected to soften the digital image for old-world looks.
Here is the breakdown. Non-EU shoots importing lens kits clear ATA Carnets through Czech Customs (Celni sprava), with Vaclav Havel Airport Prague the main air-cargo gateway and road access to Munich, Vienna and Berlin. Lens hire from Czech vendors counts toward qualifying spend under the Czech Film Fund's 20% cash rebates, invoiced in Czech koruna with 21% VAT.
