MasterBuilt Classic Primes
The MasterBuilt Classic Primes Series Lenses have been designed to produce images of vintage personality throughout large format cinematography. Built to exacting specifications, the MasterBulit lenses maintain superior center sharpness, while gradually building softness and glowing beauty throughout the frame.

The maximum T-stop facilitates shallow depth of field and smooth focus fall-off giving subject’s singularity in the frame.
