Zeiss Super Speed Primes

Zeiss Super Speed Primes:

The Zeiss Super Speed Primes are 80’s vintage primes that are small, lightweight and high speed, with an extended focus scale, uniform 80mm front dimensions, and 7-blade rounded iris mechanics. The Mark 3 Prime Lenses are an evolution of the previous Super Speed lenses, incorporating numerous improvements to meet the demands of modern filmmaking. They offer a fast aperture of T1.3 across the entire range, making them ideal for low-light shooting and achieving stunning shallow depth-of-field effects. This wide aperture also allows filmmakers to capture breathtaking visuals in challenging lighting conditions. One of the key features of the Zeiss Super Speed Mark 3 Prime Lenses is their consistent image quality and color rendition. They deliver rich, vibrant colors, crisp contrast, and sharpness, making them popular among cinematographers who seek a distinct cinematic look for their projects. The lenses are known for their ability to create a unique “Zeiss look” that adds character and dimension to the visuals. From The Shining (1980) to Straight Outta Compton (2015), there is a reason these lenses continue to be the first choice for many DPs.

Also available are 14mm and 135mm Zeiss Standard Speed primes from the same era.
