product details

Supreme Radiance full frame spherical zooms complement the Zeiss Radiance primes, bringing their flare characteristics to variable focus lenses. They deliver prime-like sharpness, natural contrast, and repeatable flare signature that adds cinematic personality and integrates seamlessly into large-format productions. The Zeiss Supreme Radiance line was developed in response to the desire for vintage flare traits that were more predictable, controllable and consistent. The Supreme Zoom Radiance series includes the 15-30mm, 28-80mm and 70-200mm models, all T2.9. Covering full-frame sensors, they extend the expressive flare look into versatile zoom form. Available for rental or sub-rental at Cine Visuals.

Zeiss Supreme Zoom Radiance

Image Fidelity & Focus

These zooms match the sharpness, smooth contrast, and natural color rendition of the Radiance primes, along with their signature bold, repeatable flares, but in a variable focus lens. They each deliver consistent performance across the zoom range, with minimal breathing and distortion. Focus falloff is gentle and smooth across the zoom range, and chromatic aberrations are minimal.

Handling & Adaptability

The Radiance zooms are heavier than primes but remain manageable compared to competitors. They feature consistent 114mm fronts, geared mechanics, and PL mounts with /i metadata support.

Flare & Bokeh

Bokeh is round and clean and natural. Due to a refined coating recipe, flaring – the signature trait of these lenses – is bold, colorful, and repeatable, blooming gracefully without losing detail or overwhelming the image.

Image Circle

Zeiss Supreme Zoom Radiance lenses cover Full Frame and VistaVision sensors.

Cinematic Heritage

Zeiss Supreme Zoom Radiance lenses were introduced in the early 2020s, and designed to provide the same flare-rich aesthetic of the Radiance primes, but in zoom form.
