The Arriflex / Zeiss Variable Prime (Variprime) system offers cinematographers a unique and flexible alternative to traditional prime and zoom lenses.

Key Features and Benefits:

Variable Focal Lengths: Provides a range of focal lengths within a single lens housing, offering the convenience of a zoom while aiming for the optical quality of a prime.
High Optical Performance: Designed by Zeiss, known for their precision optics, the Variprimes deliver excellent sharpness, contrast, and color rendition.
Compact and Lightweight: Relative to carrying multiple prime lenses or large zooms, the Variprime system can be more compact and lighter, aiding mobility on set.
Fast Aperture: Often feature relatively fast maximum apertures, allowing for shooting in lower light conditions and greater control over depth of field.
Consistent Image Characteristics: Maintains consistent image quality, color, and distortion characteristics across its focal length range, simplifying post-production.
“Prime Look” with Zoom Flexibility: Offers the sought-after “prime lens look” (e.g., pleasing bokeh, minimal distortion) while providing the quick focal length adjustments of a zoom.
