ARRI Enso Prime 28 / T2.1 Feet

The ARRI Ensō Prime 28mm T2.1: Versatile Large-Format Performance

The ARRI Ensō Prime 28mm T2.1 is a cornerstone of the Ensō series, delivering legendary ARRI optical quality in a compact, accessible form factor. Designed for large-format cinematography, this 28mm lens provides a natural wide-angle perspective with a smooth, balanced look that excels in commercials, documentaries, and narrative features.

Exceptional Close-Focus and Optical Control

A standout feature of the Ensō 28mm is its 1:4 magnification ratio. This allows cinematographers to capture extreme close-ups and intimate details without the need for macro lenses. The optical design ensures minimal focus breathing and a gentle focus fall-off, keeping the viewer's attention on the story rather than the lens mechanics.

Streamlined On-Set Workflow

Built for speed and efficiency, the Ensō Prime 28mm features a 95mm front diameter and uniform gear ring positions. This consistency allows for rapid lens swaps on gimbals, Steadicams, or handheld rigs without the need to reposition follow focus motors. The native LPL mount ensures compatibility with modern digital cinema cameras while supporting ARRI LDS-2 and Cooke /i metadata protocols.

Creative Flexibility with Vintage Elements

While the lens offers a clean, modern native look, it can be instantly transformed using Ensō Vintage Elements. These interchangeable rear optics attach magnetically to the back of the lens, allowing you to tune bokeh, edge character, and focus fall-off to achieve a specific vintage aesthetic while maintaining full metadata support.
