The Zeiss Super Speed S16 MKII Set of 5 is a legendary collection of fast Super 16mm cinema primes representing the second and highly refined iteration of Zeiss’s iconic Super Speed lineage, delivering the exceptional T1.3 maximum aperture, outstanding optical sharpness, and consistent color matching that have made the Super Speed series one of the most trusted and celebrated lens sets in professional S16 filmmaking history. This complete five-lens set — covering focal lengths of 9.5mm, 12mm, 16mm, 25mm, and 50mm — provides cinematographers with a comprehensive range from ultra-wide through short telephoto, purpose-built for Super 16mm cameras and offering the refined optical performance and low-light capability that the MKII generation brought to the Super Speed series. Compact, lightweight, and built to ARRI PL mount standards, these lenses remain a definitive choice for documentary, independent film, and television productions demanding the classic Zeiss optical character, reliable performance, and the distinctive cinematic rendering of true Super 16mm glass.
Key Features:
Each lens in the set features a fast T1.3 maximum aperture, making them exceptionally well-suited for handheld and available-light shooting across the most demanding low-light production environments.
The MKII designation reflects a refined second-generation iteration of the Super Speed lineage, featuring improved optical coatings, enhanced contrast rendition, and reduced focus breathing compared to the original MKII predecessors.
The five focal lengths — 9.5mm, 12mm, 16mm, 25mm, and 50mm — provide a comprehensive range covering ultra-wide through short telephoto perspectives, purpose-built for Super 16mm format acquisition.
All five lenses share consistent color rendition, contrast, and optical character, ensuring seamless interchangeability and a unified cinematic look throughout an entire production.
Built with a robust metal barrel construction and PL mount compatibility, these lenses integrate reliably with a wide range of professional S16 cinema camera bodies including the ARRI SR3 and ARRI 416.
Minimal focus breathing and smooth, well-damped focus and aperture rings make them highly practical for focus pullers working in fast-paced, run-and-gun, and documentary production environments.
The compact and lightweight form factor of the MKII set makes these lenses ideally suited for handheld, Steadicam, and gimbal configurations where size and weight are critical operational considerations.
