The ARRI/ZEISS Ultra Prime series is a cornerstone of professional cinematography, co-developed to provide a comprehensive and optically matched set of primes for Super 35mm film and digital production. Renowned for their “clean,” high-contrast look and exceptional sharpness, these lenses offer one of the widest focal ranges in the industry, spanning from the extreme 8mm wide-angle to the 180mm telephoto. Each lens features the legendary ZEISS T* XP anti-reflex coating to minimize flares and maximize color saturation, while the integrated floating element design ensures superior resolution and minimal distortion even at extreme close-focus distances. Their lightweight, uniform housing and consistent T1.9 aperture (across most focal lengths) make them a reliable, world-class choice for everything from high-end feature films to fast-paced commercial sets.
