The ZEISS Supreme Prime 100mm T1.5 (ARRI PL, Feet) is a full-frame cinema lens designed for high-end film production, offering exceptional sharpness, beautiful controlled flares, and a slightly warmer rendering than standard Supreme Primes. With a fast T1.5 aperture, 16-blade iris, and ZEISS T* blue coating, it delivers cinematic depth, rich texture, and precise image control for professional workflows.
The ZEISS Supreme Prime 100mm T1.5 is a premium large-format cinema lens engineered for professional filmmakers seeking exceptional optical performance, consistency, and creative control. Designed to cover full-frame sensors with a 46.3mm image circle, this lens is part of the acclaimed Supreme Prime Radiance series, known for its distinctive rendering and controlled flare characteristics.
At its core, the 100mm focal length provides a flattering telephoto perspective ideal for portraiture, dialogue scenes, and subject isolation. The ultra-fast T1.5 aperture enables shallow depth of field and excellent low-light performance, allowing cinematographers to create rich, cinematic separation between subject and background.
A defining feature of the Radiance line is the ZEISS T* blue coating, which introduces controlled flaring when interacting with strong light sources. This effect is carefully engineered to preserve contrast and detail, allowing filmmakers to introduce stylized flares without losing image integrity. The lens also renders with a slightly warmer tone compared to standard Supreme Primes, giving skin tones and textures a more organic, cinematic feel.
Mechanically, the lens is built for precision and durability. It features a 300° focus throw for extremely fine manual focus control and a 16-blade circular iris that produces smooth, natural bokeh transitions. The 95mm front diameter ensures compatibility across the Radiance series, simplifying matte box and accessory swaps on set.
The lens also supports ZEISS eXtended Data (based on Cooke /i technology), enabling frame-accurate metadata capture for VFX, virtual production, and advanced post-production workflows. This includes focus distance, T-stop, lens shading, and distortion data.
Designed and manufactured in Germany, the Supreme Prime 100mm T1.5 is built with meticulous engineering standards, ensuring long-term reliability, serviceability, and consistent optical performance across matched lens sets.
