The Zeiss Super Speed MK3 18mm is a legendary fast prime, widely considered one of the finest Super 35mm lenses ever made. As the final evolution of the “Super Speed” lineage, the MK3 improves upon its predecessors with superior mechanics, larger focus scales, and upright engravings for easier operating. Known for its incredible T1.3 speed, this lens delivers a beautiful “creamy” vintage look wide open, while sharpening up significantly at T2.8. This specific unit features factory Metric markings, making it a rare and highly sought-after single for precision-focused international productions.
Key Features:
Ultra-Fast T1.3 Aperture: Exceptional low-light performance and shallow depth-of-field with a 7-blade iris.
MK3 Mechanical Upgrades: Larger, clearer focus scales and improved internal mechanics over the MK2 series.
Factory Metric Scales: Calibrated in meters, with focus marks positioned upright for the operator.
Compact & Lightweight: Weighing only ~1.1kg (2.5 lbs) with an 80mm front, it’s perfect for gimbals, drones, and handheld work.

Super 35mm Coverage: Native coverage for S35 sensors (Alexa 35, RED, Sony) with virtually no geometric distortion at 18mm.
