Short Answer: While Master Primes are high-quality lenses, they are not specifically designed for the anamorphic format. Achieving the true anamorphic look requires dedicated anamorphic lenses.
Key points:
- Master Primes: Known for their exceptional image quality, minimal focus breathing, and minimal anamorphic characteristics.
- Anamorphic Look: Wide cinematic aspect ratio (2.39:1), oval bokeh, and characteristic lens flare.
Q&A:
- Can I achieve the anamorphic look with Master Primes?
- No, not directly. They lack the optical properties that create the signature anamorphic aesthetic.
- What lens is needed for the anamorphic look?
- Dedicated anamorphic lenses are designed to capture the wider field of view and characteristic bokeh.
Additional Information:
- ARRI/ZEISS offers Master Anamorphic lenses specifically designed to deliver the coveted anamorphic look while maintaining the quality and performance of the Master Prime series. These lenses provide the characteristic oval bokeh and unique flare associated with the format.
