Features:
Fast T1.3 Aperture: The lenses have a very fast maximum aperture of T1.3 across the entire set, which is excellent for low-light shooting and for achieving a shallow depth of field, a look often desired in cinematography.
High Optical Performance: They deliver high contrast and resolution, with minimal chromatic aberration and well-controlled distortion, even at wide angles.
Minimal Focus Breathing: The design of the lenses minimizes focus breathing, which means the focal length doesn’t change noticeably as you adjust focus. This is a crucial feature for professional filmmaking.
Super 16mm Format Optimized: The lenses were specifically designed to cover the Super 16mm format, ensuring optimal image quality from the center to the edges of the frame.
Consistent Ergonomics: The entire set of lenses shares a uniform size, weight, and a 95mm front diameter. This consistency makes it quick and easy to swap lenses on set without needing to adjust matte boxes or other accessories.
T* XP Coating: The advanced T* XP multi-layer anti-reflex coating reduces flares and internal reflections, providing high contrast and deep blacks.
Color Matched: The Ultra 16 lenses are “Super Color Matched” to other modern ARRI/Zeiss lenses (like the Master Primes and Ultra Primes), allowing for a consistent look when intercutting between different lens sets on a project.
