ZEISS SUPER SPEEDS SET OF 5

The Zeiss Super Speed set (18mm, 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm) is one of the most iconic lens series in cinema history. Often referred to as “the workhorse of the industry,” these lenses were the gold standard for decades, used on legendary films like The Shining and Full Metal Jacket. They are prized for their ultra-fast T1.3 aperture, compact form factor, and a unique “vintage-meets-modern” aesthetic that balances sharpness with organic character.

Key Features:

Ultra-Fast T1.3 Aperture: Provides exceptional low-light performance and an incredibly shallow depth of field, allowing for extreme subject separation and a signature cinematic “pop.”
Compact & Lightweight Build: Their small physical footprint makes them ideal for handheld operating, gimbals, and drones, offering much more mobility than bulky modern primes.
Standardized 80mm Fronts: Most sets feature uniform front diameters, allowing for rapid lens swaps without the need to reposition matte boxes or adjust accessories.
S35 Image Coverage: Purpose-built for the Super 35mm format, ensuring they pair perfectly with industry-standard sensors like the ARRI Alexa 35 or Sony Venice.
Integrated Cinema Gearing: Equipped with professional-grade focus and iris gears, ensuring smooth, precise control with standard follow-focus systems.
Unique Optical Character: While modern lenses can feel overly sharp, Super Speeds offer a pleasing texture and flare characteristic that adds a timeless, “filmic” soul to any project.
