Ranging from 12 to 150mm, the Super35-format Master Primes offer the skin tones and color rendition for which Zeiss is noted and are color-matched for consistency across the set. These lenses incorporate an iris with at least nine blades for a cinematic-looking bokeh with distinct focus falloff. Dual floating elements provide optimal close-focus performance, minimizing breathing when focusing. The advanced T*XP coating reduces reflections and glare while improving contrast.

Q: 1. Which is better cooke s/8i ff lens or Arri signature prime lens

A: Cooke and ARRI are two of the finest cinema lens manufacturers in the world. Either would do the job they are call upon to do, and do it with exemplary panache. To decide which one to use, you need to find out what the shot or the entire production requires of its lenses. You then do tests with both lenses to determine which one works. It can be said that Cooke's exhibit a warmth that is very complimentary to people, particularly faces. Arri lenses, like Zeiss, exhibit a cooler, very color accurate tone. These two colors are very subtle and you have to look for them.

Q: 2. Is there a version with lens data? /I compatible?

A: No, the ARRI Ultra Prime 100mm T1.9 Lens (PL, Feet) does not come in another model that supports the Cooke /i Lens Data System.

Q: 3. Will this lens work with a full frame sensor? Has anybody tried it? Thanks.

A: The ARRI Alura 30-80mm lens has a 31.5mm image circle and a full frame sensor has a 43.2mm image circle (Nikon FX, Sony Alpha/Alpha FE, Canon EF). Therefore, this lens will vignette and not cover a full frame sensor.

Q: 4. What is the meaning of open gate?

A: Open Gate provides the maximum sensor area (36.70 mm x 25.54 mm) and maximum resolution (4448 x 3096 photosites) for maximum flexibility in post.

Q: 5. Does the lens data contain lens distortion information?

A: The Cooke 21mm T2.2 Panchro/i Classic Prime Lens uses /i Technology which is a metadata protocol that enables film and digital cameras to automatically record key lens data for every frame shot. /i Technology data includes focal length, focus distance, zoom position, near and far focus, hyper focal distance, T-stop, horizontal field of view, entrance pupil position, distortion and shading data.

Q: 6. will these lens cover arri mini lf sensor with out darkening circle at t1.5 or t 2?

A: Since the Canon Sumire Prime Lenses cover a full frame (36mm x 24mm) image circle, there will be a slight darkening of the corners at the wides apertures when shooting at 4.5K LF 3:2 Open Gate.

Q: 7. Lens case dimensions?

A: The outer dimensions are roughly 18x17x9.5"

Q: 8. If I get an LPL adapter for my Nikon Z6, will this lens cover the full frame and work with the camera?

A: yes if you are able to mount an LPL lens (this lens) on a Nikon Z the lens will cover the the sensor and more as the image circle for the lens is designed for the ARRI LF cameras which are significantly larger that FF photo sensors

Q: 9. Does this require a locking mechanism in the mount? I’d like to use it on the FX6

A: The ZEISS CP3 lenses incorporate a 3/8" thread support bracket at the bottom of the barrel. This can be tied into a camera support rig to isolate the lens from the camera and prevent any movement in the mount as the focus is racked.

Q: 10. How does the focal length of these lenses on a full frame body like the LF compare to master primes on super35mm?

A: This lens can cover a full frame sensor. If used on a camera that is Full Frame it will give you an 18mm view. If you use it on a camera that has a Super 35mm Sensor it will give you a 27mm field of view.
