Zeiss Standard Speed Lens Set

Vintage Lenses | PL | S35

Forged in the creative cauldron of the early 1980s West Germany, the ARRI Zeiss Standard Speed MKII primes are a testament to an era where craftsmanship met cinematic innovation. Designed originally for Arriflex film cameras, these lenses have been a cornerstone in filmmaking, offering a smooth, pleasing image with cool color rendition and medium contrast. Their timeless design includes the convenient 0.8 standard gearing on focus and iris rings, blending vintage aesthetics with modern functionality.

Lightweight and compact, these lenses are celebrated for their distinctive flares, unique bokeh, and a flattering softness on faces, making them a favorite for both historical pieces and cutting-edge digital cinema. Used in iconic films like "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "Fargo."
