ARRI Enso Prime 21 / T2.1 Meter

Professional Large-Format Performance

The ARRI Ensō Prime 21mm T2.1 is a cornerstone of the Ensō series, offering a wide-angle perspective for large-format cinematography. Designed to deliver legendary ARRI image quality in a compact form factor, this lens provides a smooth, balanced native look characterized by natural detail and elegant bokeh. With minimal focus breathing and gentle fall-off, it is an ideal choice for projects ranging from high-end commercials to fast-paced documentaries.

Exceptional Close-Focus Capabilities

One of the standout features of the Ensō 21mm is its industry-leading close-focus performance. Featuring a 1:4 magnification ratio, this lens allows cinematographers to capture intimate detail shots and tabletop work without the need for additional diopters or dedicated macro glass. This versatility makes it a powerful tool for shallow-depth-of-field storytelling in tight spaces.

Streamlined Production Workflow

Built for efficiency, the Ensō Prime series features uniform gear positions and a 95mm front diameter across most focal lengths, ensuring rapid lens changes on gimbal, Steadicam, or handheld rigs. The native LPL mount supports advanced metadata protocols, including ARRI LDS-2 and Cooke /i, facilitating seamless integration with modern post-production and VFX pipelines.

Customizable Optical Character

While the Ensō 21mm offers a clean, modern look out of the box, it is fully compatible with Ensō Vintage Elements. These interchangeable rear optics allow users to tune the lens's character, adjusting bokeh and edge softness to achieve a vintage aesthetic while maintaining full metadata communication and reliable mechanical performance.
