ARRI Signature Primes

Image Fidelity & Focus

Signature Primes produce smooth focus fall-off, and best-in-class highlight and shadow retention, as well as open shadows and crisp blacks, with no visible breathing and distortion. The clean look maintains consistency across a huge range of perspectives.

Handling & Adaptability

Built with lightweight magnesium housings and equipped with the LPL mount, Signature Primes offer robust mechanics. They boast the largest focal length range in the industry. All Signature Primes feature ARRI’s Lens Data System LDS-2.

Flare & Bokeh

Beautifully rounded bokeh, described as silky smooth and exceptionally soft, is achieved through precision optics and innovative coatings, which also control flare.

Image Circle

Designed with a large image circle to work with cameras like the ARRI LF, Signature Primes cover sensor sizes up to 46mm – full frame and beyond, easily covering the Monstro at 8K FF, for example.

Cinematic Heritage

Based on a groundbreaking optical design, ARRI Signature Primes are well known as the lenses used by Roger Deakins, ASC, BSC on the feature film 1917, which won the Oscar for Best Cinematography, among ten nominations. Coincidentally, ARRI was founded in that year. In the ensuing decades ARRI has built a legacy of engineering expertise tailored to the creative needs of filmmakers.
