Zeiss rental/hire Lenses: Way before starting a collaboration with ARRI's German manufacturers, Carl Zeiss was already a leader brand in the high-end film and photography lens world. Legendary lens packages made in Western Germany have arrived to our days in great shape, actually, their distinctive image softness and fairly-open iris blend wonderfully with the extreme definition of some modern camera sensors. Not to mention the fact that after almost 60 years from the day they were first made, they are still one of the fastest lenses around. Their Super Speed lenses offer a 1.4 iris aperture: the 'Ultra Speed' set goes up to 1.3, and even the "slower" set offers an amazing T2.1 in all its focal range. Recently, Zeiss has kept on adding new products to his PL mount film lenses line up, such as the Compact Prime, the CP2 sets (T2.1 and T1.5 in the Ultra Speed version respectively) and the new CZ zooms. In Camaleón Rental, we offer one of the most extended range of Zeiss lenses you can get. Give us a call!
Supreme Radiance T1.5. These lenses offer warmer images than the "Supreme Primes", but both can perfectly be combined in the same video thanks to the fact that the two lens sets have the same iris max. aperture, a smooth focus ring, high-speed and a sturdy built.
The Full Frame "Radiance" lenses have a new housing that provides bluish flares with sharp but warmer and more organic skin tones than the "Standard Supreme Primes". Image sharpness and look can be controlled, thanks to this new housing, by maintaining contrast and light transmission; this upgrade avoids light transmission loss that usually happens with lenses that don't have a special housing.
ZEISS ULTRA PRIME
These ZEISS rental/hire lenses were manufactured in 1999. These lenses took over Zeiss Super Speed T1.3 MKI, MKII and MKIII's place, which had been used for 20 years in many film productions.
The ARRI German House designed these lenses with updates to improve some of the defaults previous lenses had: sharpness, contrast and spheric or chromatic aberrations high apertures had. The new ARRI Z. Ultra Prime T1.9 rental/hire lenses have perfect color and performance. They provide high sharpness and are very similar in image and features to the Master Prime lens set, but with a T1.3 aperture.
ZEISS SUPER SPEED MKIII
The Zeiss Super Speed MKIII T1.3 lenses are the result of a decade of experience the German brands Zeiss and Arri have had. The MKIII lenses are very similar to the previous series, but with important improvements.
The MKIII have high-speed, great sharpness and contrast. These lenses set a standard in the industry for following lens versions, like the "Ultra Prime" or the "Master Prime"; these last two and the MKIII have the same 7-blade iris and focus ring system as the MKII.
Way before the MKIII, in the mid 70's, the same manufacturers had a first lens set version (the MKI). At first, these lenses had a bayonet-type mount, which was changed for a PL mount a bit later. The main and most characteristic feature of these lenses is the triangle-shaped iris, and its effects become visible at T2.8 or above. The main flaw of this lens set's first version was the lack of rotation in the focus ring, which was around 180º. This was improved in the next versions, the MKII & MKIII, that have a 270º focus ring rotation.
ZEISS SUPER SPEED MKII
The Zeiss Super Speed MKII T1.3 lenses give their best best optical performance when iris values go above T2.8, where images with more contrast and sharpness are achieved. When the iris' aperture value is below T1.3, images will tend to have sparkles, veils and less sharpness. If we had to compare them to other rental/hire lenses, we could say they are very similar to the Master Prime T1.3 lenses.
ZEISS SUPER SPEED S16
These Zeiss Speed S16 lenses are of Zeiss quality but covering the surface of an S16 sensor.There are a number of aspects to highlight in this set of lenses. They are not all the same length and do not have standard 80mm fronts. The 9.5mm and 12mm ones in the set have the front without filter threads.They have a 6-leaf hexagonal iris, although mk2s have a triangular iris. A gearless, compressed focus scale. There are aftermarket gears you can get.
