The ARRI | ZEISS Master Prime Lenses have been jointly developed by ARRI and ZEISS. They are both fast and have an optical performance surpassing that of all standard speed primes. ARRI | ZEISS Master Prime Lenses open up new creative opportunities of film making.

  • Unique high speed prime lenses with unprecedented resolution
  • Virtually no breathing
  • ARRI | ZEISS Master Prime Lenses offer excellent optical performance across the whole T-stop range from T1.3 to T22
  • The patented Dual Floating Elements technology eliminated breathing in the Master Prime lenses
  • Uniform positions of iris and focus gears
  • Built-in Lens Data System (LDS)

The Master Prime lenses open up new creative opportunities, making shots possible that would have been considered impossible before. A widest stop of T1.3 allows shooting in low or available light for more natural-looking shots and a reduction of the lighting budget. In addition, a wide open stop creates the cinematic look of an extremely shallow depth of field.
