The Zeiss Super Speed MKII set is a legendary collection of cinema prime lenses that defined the look of 1980s and 90s cinema. Renowned for their incredible speed and compact form factor, these lenses remain a staple for cinematographers seeking a vintage aesthetic without sacrificing mechanical reliability.
The MKII set is distinctive for its uniform T1.3 aperture across the range, making it one of the fastest vintage sets available.
Key Features:
Ultra-Fast T1.3 Aperture: Provides exceptional low-light performance and a razor-thin depth of field for superior subject isolation.
Signature “Zeiss Look”: Delivers a “creamy” rendering with lower contrast when wide open, sharpening significantly when stopped down to T2.8.
Compact & Lightweight: Their small footprint makes them the preferred choice for handheld, gimbal, and Steadicam work.
Mechanical Consistency: Each lens features a standard 80mm front diameter and integrated 0.8 pitch gears, allowing for rapid lens changes without repositioning follow-focus motors or matte boxes.
Vintage Character: Known for producing pleasing flares and a gentle “glow” around highlights, adding a filmic texture that modern digital sensors often lack.
7-Blade Iris: Unlike the earlier “B-Speed” version (which had triangular apertures), the MKII features a more conventional iris for smoother, more natural bokeh.
Cost: 38,500 USD

The ZEISS Supreme Prime family is a professional cinema lens series designed to meet the demands of large-format digital cinematography. Balancing high-speed performance with a compact, lightweight form factor, these lenses are engineered for consistency across the entire range (15mm to 200mm). Unlike the clinical sharpness of some modern optics, the Supreme Primes offer a “gentle sharpness” and an organic look that is particularly flattering for skin tones.
Key Features:
Large Format Coverage: Featuring an image circle of 46.3 mm, these lenses fully cover Full Frame, VistaVision, and Super 35 sensors, making them a future-proof investment for modern camera systems.
High Speed (T1.5): The majority of the set features a fast T1.5 aperture, providing exceptional low-light performance and shallow depth-of-field control.
eXtended Data (XD) Technology: A unique metadata system that records frame-accurate lens distortion and shading data. This significantly accelerates VFX workflows and post-production compositing.
Mechanical Consistency: Nearly all lenses in the series share a 95mm front diameter and standardized gear positions for focus and iris, allowing for rapid lens changes without re-adjusting follow-focus motors or matte boxes.
Aesthetic Bokeh: A 16-blade iris ensures round, natural highlights and a smooth transition between in-focus and out-of-focus areas (focus fall-off).
Rugged Versatility: Designed for use in extreme temperatures, the focus mechanics remain smooth and reliable from the desert to the Arctic.
COST: 37,500 Euros

The ARRI Signature Prime 12mm T1.8 is the widest focal length in ARRI’s flagship large-format prime series. Designed to deliver a “timeless” cinematic look, it balances state-of-the-art optical precision with a natural, organic feel that avoids the clinical sharpness often found in modern digital lenses. It is engineered specifically for large-format sensors (like the ALEXA 35 or LF) but remains versatile across various formats thanks to its massive 46mm image circle and LPL mount.
Key Features:
Organic Aesthetic: Renders warm, smooth skin tones and “creamy” bokeh that highlights subjects with a gentle focus fall-off.

Customizable “Look”: Features a Magnetic Rear Filter Holder, allowing cinematographers to use custom glass or materials (like nets or vintage fabrics) to alter bokeh and flares without permanent lens modification.
Lightweight Durability: Constructed with a machined magnesium barrel, making it significantly lighter and more robust than traditional cine lenses.
Future-Proof Data: Built-in LDS-2 (Lens Data System) provides high-speed lens metadata for VFX workflows and focus mapping, backwards compatible with LDS-1 and Cooke /i.
Exceptional Control: Designed with a near-telecentric optical path to virtually eliminate focus breathing, ensuring the frame doesn’t shift during focus pulls.
