Zeiss Supreme Prime 40mm/T1.5 PL Meter product description

Redefining Cinematic Excellence with ZEISS Supreme Primes

The ZEISS Supreme Prime 40mm T1.5 represents a new standard in high-end cinematography, offering a perfect balance of technical precision and artistic character. Designed to cover large-format sensors with a 46.2 mm image circle, this lens ensures compatibility with the latest cinema cameras while maintaining a compact, lightweight form factor.

Unmatched Speed and Large-Format Performance

With a fast T1.5 aperture, the Supreme Prime 40mm excels in challenging lighting conditions. This high speed allows cinematographers to capture stunning imagery in low light while achieving a shallow depth of field that isolates subjects with surgical precision. The lens is color-matched across the entire Supreme Prime family, ensuring a consistent look throughout your production.

Aesthetic Bokeh and Organic Sharpness

The unique optical design provides a smooth transition between in-focus and out-of-focus areas. This elegant bokeh adds depth and texture to every frame. Unlike clinical modern lenses, the Supreme Primes offer a gentle sharpness that renders skin tones naturally, providing a crisp yet organic look that is highly sought after in modern filmmaking.

Advanced Workflow Integration

Equipped with ZEISS eXtended Data technology, this lens provides frame-accurate metadata including focal length, T-stop, and focusing distance. This data is invaluable for VFX-heavy productions, as it includes lens-specific distortion and vignetting maps, significantly accelerating the compositing and stitching process in post-production.

  • Standardized focus and iris ring positions for easy accessory swaps
  • Ultra-smooth focus rotation functional in extreme temperatures
  • Individually calibrated scales in meters
  • Global service network for professional maintenance
