Ancient Alliance
When the world feels divided, we choose to unite.
Ancient Alliance is a global partnership formed by renowned cinema equipment rental houses — and Capsule is honored to be the only rental house in Asia to join.
Through this alliance, we’ve been able to source the Tamashi and Statera lenses, which will be exclusively available at Capsule in Japan, now and always.
A word from Ancient Optics:
’’We believe community is our greatest strength. When passionate, creative, and like minded individuals come together with a common goal, that’s when the magic happens. That’s true on set, and it’s also what binds our Ancient Alliance.
Where you get your tools matters. It can shape your story in profound ways. The rental house experience is a key part of the story telling process for directors, cinematographers and all crew members. Feeling properly supported from the very start is vital to the success of any project. Each member of the Ancient Alliance understands this fully and its demonstrated daily on their prep floors. Their clients are more than invoice numbers and profit margins. They are collaborators making art and telling stories together as a team.
Special companies deserve special lenses. Tamashii, Statera, and Series 65 mark our greatest optical achievements. This glass is unique and exclusive to the 10 international rental shops which form the Ancient Alliance. Our global network can accommodate projects of any size anywhere in the world at anytime. If you want that Tamashii, Statera, or Series 65 look, you can only find it in the Ancient Alliance.
We have ambitious goals, and we are just getting started. As our alliance grows stronger, so will our exclusive inventory of exciting lens projects. If you love lenses, get ready. Our next projects will really shake things up! ’’
