Zeiss Supreme Prime 85mm / T1.5 PL Feet

Cinematic Excellence with the ZEISS Supreme Prime 85mm T1.5

The ZEISS Supreme Prime 85mm T1.5 represents a new standard in large-format cinematography, blending technical precision with an organic, versatile look. Designed to cover image circles up to 46.2 mm, this lens is fully compatible with the latest full-frame and large-format sensor systems. Its fast T1.5 aperture ensures exceptional performance in challenging low-light environments while providing a shallow depth of field that isolates subjects with elegance.

Aesthetic Character and Organic Sharpness

Unlike clinical lenses, the Supreme Prime series offers a gentle sharpness that renders skin tones and textures with a natural, crisp quality. The transition between in-focus and out-of-focus areas is remarkably smooth, creating a rich texture and deep, cinematic bokeh. This unique character allows cinematographers the freedom to craft their desired look without fighting the lens's inherent properties.

Streamlined Workflow and eXtended Data

Efficiency on set is prioritized through consistent ergonomics. The 85mm features a standardized 95mm front diameter and uniform positioning of focus and iris rings across the entire range, enabling rapid lens changes. Integrated ZEISS eXtended Data technology provides frame-accurate metadata, including focal length, T-stop, and distortion maps. This eliminates guesswork for DITs and significantly accelerates VFX workflows and post-production compositing.

German Engineering and Reliability

Manufactured at ZEISS headquarters in Oberkochen, Germany, each lens is manually assembled and features individually calibrated scales. The ultra-smooth focus rotation remains consistent even in extreme temperatures, ensuring compatibility with small lens motors and remote follow-focus systems. With a global service network, the Supreme Prime 85mm is built for the rigors of professional production.
