A Versatile Look and Gentle Sharpness

The Nano Primes possess a look, which ensures freedom in creating the look you want to achieve. With captivating clarity, they ensure that you can capture every detail in the expression on an actor’s face to convey and emphasize emotion. Especially when capturing crucial textures such as skin tones, the quality of the Nano Primes is a gentle sharpness that renders a crisp but organic look.

Aesthetic Fall-off and Elegant Bokeh

A very smooth transition between in-focus and out of focus areas characterize the look of the Nano Primes. This adds richer texture and greater depth to the image. They maintain dynamic range and micro contrast levels finetuned to bring out details in the shadows and the mids.

Full Cine Ergonomics in a Small Package

Nano Primes excel in precision and durability. Featuring a compact design with a 95 mm front diameter and an 86 mm screw-in filter thread, they seamlessly integrate with gimbals and drones. The consistent position of focus and iris rings streamlines lens changes while offering easy-to-read calibrated scales, a smooth 280° focus rotation, and a 90° iris ring rotation for precise control.

Interchangeable Mount

The Nano Primes come standard with an E-mount, but thanks to the proven ZEISS IMS (Interchangeable Mount System), they can easily be swapped by the user for RF, Z, or L-mounts available from third parties (e.g., KipperTie).

Real-Time Lens Data

Thanks to the integrated electronic interface on the E-mount, the Nano Primes transmit real-time metadata such as focal length, focus distance and aperture to the camera. Further lens data for distortion and vignetting is available in the ZEISS CinCraft ecosystem and thus for post-production (CinCraft Mapper) as well as in the recently introduced CinCraft Scenario camera tracking system.

Precision Manufacturing & Worldwide Service

ZEISS Nano Prime lenses are assembled by hand and engraved with individually calibrated scales. Serviceability is a top priority starting in the initial stages of the development process. ZEISS has built up a global service network in the recent years with authorized service stations offering service according to factory standards in the US, Europe and Asia.
