ZEISS SUPER SPEED S16 MKIII SET OF 5

The Zeiss Super Speed S16 set is a legendary collection of prime lenses designed specifically for the Super 16mm film format. Renowned for their “creamy” yet sharp aesthetic, these lenses have been a staple in cinema since the 1970s, utilized in iconic films like City of God and Babel. They are highly sought after today for use on modern digital sensors with S16 crop modes (such as the ARRI Alexa 35 or Blackmagic Pocket 4K), offering a vintage “filmic” character that clinical modern glass cannot replicate.
