product details
The ARRI / Zeiss ULTRA 16 primes are the sharpest, lowest distortion and highest contrast lenses available for the S16mm format. They are compact, durable, and have modern mechanics that are nearly identical to ARRI Ultra Primes. These lenses were specifically developed for the Super 16mm format, giving them truly ideal optics, mechanics and ergonomics when used alongside 16mm cameras such as the Arri SR3, 416 and other 16mm film cameras.
Zeiss Ultra16 lenses have a T1.3 maximum aperture, with peak performance wide open. Having a consistent weight across the series, they are an ideal choice when using a 16mm camera alongside a steadicam, gimbal, or easy rig. They can be used alongside and aesthetically match Master Primes, when doing multi-format projects. The Arri Alura 18-80mm offers similar colors, rendering and sharpness, making it a great candidate for a zoom if needed. The Zeiss Ultra 16mm lenses prove that the 16mm format doesn't need to be limited to amateur productions, with films like Black Swan, Bronson and The Wrestler using these lenses and 16mm film to great success. Whether using these lenses on small digital sensors, or Super 16mm cinema cameras, they will provide consistent and professional results.

Image Performance
Handling & Adaptability
The inclusion of a single aspheric optical element makes it visually compatible with both the multi-aspheric Leica Summilux-C and the spherical Leica Summicron-C primes. With nine lenses in six groups and apochromatic correction, outstanding resolution and contrast can be achieved all the way to the edge of the frame.
