ZEISS Supreme Prime Radiance lenses enable cinematographers to create beautiful, consistent and controlled flares in the image while maintaining contrast and avoiding transmission loss. Yet, they offer all attributes of a modern cinema lens: large-format coverage, high speed, robustness and smooth and reliable focus. ZEISS Supreme Prime Radiance lenses are available in eleven focal lengths: 18 mm, 21 mm, 25 mm, 29 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 65 mm, 85 mm, 100 mm and 135 mm – all T1.5. Although being slightly warmer than regular Supreme Primes, they pair very well with them.
