Zeiss Supreme Prime 21mm T1.5 (PL Mount, Feet)

Zeiss Supreme Prime 21mm T1.5 (PL Mount, Feet)

The Zeiss Supreme range of prime lenses have been specifically developed for the latest generation full-frame/large format cinema cameras such as the Sony VENICE 1 and 2, ARRI Alexa LF, ALEXA Mini LF, RED V-Raptor, and others.

However, this lens has a 46.3mm image circle, which allows you to use the lens with full-frame and Super 35mm sensors. In addition, the lens has been designed to be small, as far as lenses that cover full-frame sensors go, to better match the diminishing size of cameras. 

Though the lens is designed to be exceedingly sharp, it features a smooth focus roll-off; additionally this lens features a precision square helical thread that is smooth and durable. The focus barrel features 300 degrees of rotation for precise focus pulls. 

The lens mounts are interchangeable in the field and communicate with Cooke /i and Zeiss Xtended Data protocols. The removable lens support foot features an integrated 3/8"-16 female threaded mounting hole

Moreover, the Zeiss Supreme Primes are equipped with a 16-blade iris that forms a circular aperture for round, out-of-focus highlights. The iris markings on the lens are not linear, providing you more room for precise incremental adjustments when the iris is open on the wide end, as well as making the overall size of the lens smaller

Cinematic sensor coverage and fast speed

The Zeiss Supreme Prime lenses are designed to cover cinematic sensors from Super 35 and smaller to full frame and beyond (FF+), making them ideal for current and future camera systems. With most lenses at T1.5 the Supreme Primes demonstrate their unsurpassed craftsmanship in tricky low-light environments.

Aesthetic focus fall-off and elegant bokeh

A very smooth transition between in-focus and out of focus areas characterise the unique look of the Zeiss Supreme Prime lenses. This adds richer texture and greater depth to the image.

A versatile look and gentle sharpness

The Zeiss Supreme Primes possess a look, which ensures freedom in creating the look you want to achieve. Especially when capturing crucial textures such as skin tones, the unique quality of the Zeiss Supreme Prime lenses is a gentle sharpness that renders a crisp but organic look.

Efficiency and reliability throughout the entire production

The unique Zeiss eXtended Data technology offers lens metadata critical for VFX-intensive productions and workflows on set. The frame accurate information about focal length, focusing distance, T-stop and depth-of-field enables the camera assistant to work more precisely and eliminates guesswork for the DIT.

Zeiss eXtended Data technology

Simplify and increase the accuracy of the image capturing and processing workflow. Zeiss eXtended Data unifies two data sets: key lens data based on the Cooke /i Technology and the Zeiss distortion and shading lens data. After recording on set together with the video files, they can be applied in post-production for compositing for example by using the Zeiss developed lens plugin.
