ZEISS SUPER SPEED S16 SET OF 5

The Zeiss Super Speed S16 lenses are legendary prime lenses specifically designed for the Super 16mm (S16) film format. Originally introduced in the 1970s and refined through Mark II and Mark III versions, they remain a top choice for cinematographers seeking a vintage, “filmic” aesthetic on modern digital sensors like the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K or the Arri Alexa 35 (in S16 mode).

Key Features:

Ultra-Fast T1.3 Aperture: Allows for exceptional low-light performance and a shallow depth of field rarely seen in the S16 format.
Signature “Zeiss Look”: Features the famous T multicoating*, which offers high contrast and vibrant color reproduction while maintaining a gentle, vintage fall-off.
Minimal Focus Breathing: Designed for cinema, these lenses exhibit almost no change in focal length when racking focus.
Compact & Lightweight: Their small form factor makes them ideal for handheld shooting, gimbal work, and tight spaces.
Vintage Character: Wide open, they produce a soft, dreamy glow and beautiful flares; stopped down, they become impressively sharp and clinical.
Professional Housing: Mk II and Mk III versions feature integrated 0.8 pitch gears and consistent 80mm front diameters for easy use with follow focus systems and matte boxes.
