Zeiss Ultra Prime Lenses

The ARRI/Zeiss Ultra Prime lenses are a set of 16 cinema prime lenses ranging from 8mm to 180mm, first introduced in 1999. Most focal lengths open to T1.9, and the lenses are designed as a lighter-weight optical match to the ARRI/Zeiss Master Primes. They feature PL mounts, robust mechanical construction, and consistent color and contrast across the full set.
