We are proud to offer over five sets of primes, a handful of zooms, and multiple accessories for full-frame cameras.
Each set of lenses have their own unique characteristics and look giving cinematographers multiple options for full frame cameras. I’ll highlight some of the differences below.
Alexa LF with a 125mm Signature Prime
85mm Supreme Prime on the full frame Sony a7s
Arri’s unique signature.
Arri’s new Signature primes are a very interesting beast. They are only available in the LPL mount, pairing with the Alexa LF like a fine wine. For the physical size they are extremely lightweight being housed in magnesium alloy. Instead of making another set of lenses that are clinical with minimal flare, Arri opted to make a set with softer contrast, unique flaring, and subtle swirly bokeh. Being that these lenses have a shorter flange depth they have very little fall-off around the edges and resolve extremely well on a high resolution sensor. All six of the current lenses are a fast T1.8 across the board. Our set currently consists of 18, 25, 35, 47, 75, and 125mm. More focal lengths will be added to the set in 2019.
Zeiss’s supreme set of lenses.
The Zeiss Supreme primes are workhouse full-frame lenses. All six of the current lenses share similar weight, compact size, gear placement, and T-stop. Instead of making a set of sharp and clinical lenses Zeiss followed the same path as Arri. They opted for a softer tonal contrast with smooth focus roll-off and creamy out of focus areas thanks to the 16 iris blades. The Supreme Primes pair nicely with our set of Compact Zooms CZ.2 15-30mm, 28-80mm, and 70-200mm. Our set currently consists of 25, 29, 35, 50, 85, and 100mm. More focal lengths will be added in 2019.
Canon CN-E prime on the Alexa LF
Canon K35’s ready for full frame!
The modern
Canon CN-E primes.
Our Canon CN-E primes are modified with PL mounts and are ready for full frame sensors. Of all our full frame primes, the CN-E’s have the widest and tightest focal lengths of 14mm and 135mm. These primes are sharp and contrasty and resolve on large resolution sensors very well. The CN-E’s prioritize skin tones and have the classic warm look known to Canon. Currently our set consists of 14, 24, 35, 50, 85, and 135mm with the 20mm arriving in 2019.
The vintage
Canon k35 primes.
The vintage Canon K35 primes were released in the 1970’s. They have gained popularity due to the fact that they are one of the few vintage lens sets that cover full frame. They are compact lenses with fast T-stops and a 14-blade iris for circular, natural, bokeh. Overall they have lower contrast then modern lenses and flare very easily. Our set consists of 18, 24, 35, 55, and 85mm however the 18mm is the only prime that does NOT cover full frame. Being that these primes use older mechanic designs, the weight of clip-on matteboxes can sometimes bind the focus barrell.
