Ultra Prime LDS Lenses
Optically identical to their name sake non-LDS lenses, LDS
lenses are equipped with encoders that can read lens ring
positions, and with contacts on the lens mount to communicate
lens status to the camera. A miniature chip inside the lens
stores precise depth of field information and other lens
information. LDS Ultra Primes also have new housings and
larger index marks in a brighter color for better readability
in low light.
LDS lenses can be mounted on all PL mount cameras. On
the ARRICAMs and the ARRIFLEX 435 Advanced, LDS
lenses should be mounted in the 12:00 or 3:00 o’clock
position.

LDS-Mount
A modified PL mount, the so called LDS Datamount, replaces
the standard PL mount. The LDS Datamount contains LDS
contacts and a miniature chip. Once the lens settings have
been calibrated at the rental house, the lens can be used
on a LDS camera as long as an ARRI lens motor (CLM-1
or CLM-2) is attached.
