ARRI Zeiss Master Anamorphics

Image Fidelity & Focus

Master Anamorphics are distinguished by their refined optical signature. Blacks stay deep, and highlights hold their detail. Unlike vintage anamorphics that often come with heavy flaring, distortion, and edge softness, these lenses deliver a clean, modern, high contrast anamorphic look while still preserving classic traits like oval bokeh and horizontal flares – albeit with more control and less unpredictability. They feature a 2x squeeze factor and a fast, consistent T1.9 aperture across the series – an unusually wide stop for anamorphics.

Handling & Adaptability

The long focus throw and mechanically precise focus rings provide excellent control for focus pullers, especially when dealing with the shallow depth of field characteristic of anamorphic shooting.

Flare & Bokeh

The flares are elegant and streak-like, but subdued compared to older lenses, without veiling glare or washed-out blacks, making them ideal for productions wanting an anamorphic look without excessive optical artifacts. Bokeh is classically anamorphic.

Image Circle

The image circle comfortably covers the Super 35 format.

Cinematic Heritage

ARRI/Zeiss Master Anamorphic lenses were introduced in 2013 as a collaborative effort between ARRI and Carl Zeiss. Their introduction marked a shift toward high-performance anamorphic cinematography.
