The long-awaited ZEISS Supreme Prime Lenses are finally here!
“The ZEISS Supreme Prime lenses are designed for cinematic large-format sensor coverage, making them the ideal choice for current and future camera systems.” – ZEISS
ZEISS’s new line of full-frame primes consists of 13 lenses of different focal lengths. Although, at this time, only five of them have been released – 25mm, 29mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm. The 100mm lens is expected to come out by the end of the year. However, ZEISS is keeping us in suspense, as the remaining lenses will not be made available until 2019 and 2020.
According to ZEISS, the cornerstone of these lenses is the consistency across the entire line. The company specifically cites “coverage, color rendering, aperture, size, weight, and ergonomics.” In addition, all of these lenses feature a 46.2mm image circle and 10 out of the 13 are T1.5. This makes the Supreme Primes an ideal cine candidate for shooting in any low-light situations.
Additionally, the line features a small diameter of 95mm on almost all lenses and a uniform positioning of both the focus and iris rings allows for easy equipment swap-outs. These lenses also feature an interchangeable mount system, making it easy to change from PL-mount to LPL or EF. This mount system gives the user more flexibility and freedom when choosing what camera to pair with Supreme Primes.
