Zeiss Supreme Prime Radiance Set PL Mount (21mm, 25mm, 29mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 100mm)
The Zeiss Supreme Prime Radiance Set PL Mount (21mm, 25mm, 29mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 100mm) lenses (in IMPERIAL scale, PL Mount) 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 – all in a small, light-weight package.
Thr ZEISS Supreme Prime Radiance lenses come as a seven-lens set: 21 mm, 25 mm, 29 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm, 85 mm and 100 mm – all T1.5. Although being slightly warmer than regular Supreme Primes, they pair very well with them. That’s why Zeiss deliberately went without the extremer focal lengths on both ends of the range that the regular Supremes offer.
ZEISS Supreme Prime Radiance Lenses
Beautiful look. Full control.
A new coating for a new look | T* blue coating
Instead of just uncoating lens elements, Zeiss once they defined what they wanted to achieve revisited original T* coating formulae and reworked them, forming the birth of T* blue coating. Ensuring that the resulting flares can not only be planned and reproduced but that the lenses were also able to maintain contrast and avoid transmission loss that one normally experiences with uncoated lens elements.
Adding more character to your images
The ZEISS Supreme Prime Radiance lenses enable cinematographers to create beautiful and consistent flares but with one key ability – control. This is made possible by the newly developed lens coating T* blue. Under regular lighting, Supreme Prime Radiance render like modern and versatile cinematography lenses. With appropriate lighting however, the lenses start to flare. Cinematographers can decide and plan when they want to create flares rather than relying on unforeseen effects. Overall, Supreme Prime Radiance are a touch warmer than Supreme Primes but still retain all the other features that one might have experienced from using the regular Supreme Prime lenses.
Cinematic large-format coverage and high speed
The ZEISS Supreme Prime Radiance lenses are designed for cinematic large-format sensor coverage, making them the ideal choice for current and future camera systems. At T1.5 the ZEISS Supreme Primes demonstrate their unsurpassed craftsmanship in tricky low-light environments.
| Aesthetic focus fall-off and elegant bokeh | A versatile look and gentle sharpness |
|---|---|
| A very smooth transition between in-focus and out of focus areas characterize the unique look of the ZEISS Supreme Prime Radiance lenses. This adds richer texture and greater depth to the image. | The ZEISS Supreme Prime Radiance lenses possess a look, which ensures freedom in creating the look you want to achieve. Especially when capturing crucial textures such as skin tones, the unique quality of the ZEISS Supreme Prime lenses is a gentle sharpness that renders a crisp but organic look. |
Efficiency and reliability throughout the entire production
The unique ZEISS eXtended Data technology offers lens metadata critical for VFX-intensive productions and workflows on set. The frame accurate information about focal length, focusing distance, T-stop and depth-of-field enables the camera assistant to work more precisely and eliminates guesswork for the DIT.
Made in Germany, used and maintained around the globe
ZEISS Cinematography lenses are designed and manufactured at ZEISS headquarters in Oberkochen, Germany. The lenses are assembled manually and engraved with individually calibrated scales. Serviceability is a top priority starting in the initial stages of the development process. ZEISS has built up a global service network in the recent years with authorized service stations offering service according to factory standards in the US, Europe and Asia.
Ultimate flexibility | Interchangeable Mount System
The ZEISS Supreme Prime and Supreme Prime Radiance lenses are equipped with an easy to operate, interchangeable mount system. It enables a quick change from PL-mount to LPL-mount via optional mount sets. This proven feature offers tremendous flexibility and is a future-proof investment in today’s rapidly changing camera market. Both mounts have an electrical interface for transferring ZEISS eXtended Data to the camera.
- No loss of image quality due to adapter solutions
- Two different mounts available (PL and LPL)
ZEISS eXtended Data technology
Expanding your possibilities.
Simplify and increase the accuracy of the image capturing and processing workflow. ZEISS eXtended Data unifies two data sets: key lens data based on the Cooke /i* Technology and the ZEISS distortion and shading lens data. After recording on set together with the video files, they can be applied in post-production for compositing for example by using the ZEISS developed lens plugin.
| Key lens data | ZEISS specific lens data |
|---|---|
ZEISS eXtended Data technology is based on the Cooke /i* technology and is supported by a wide range of cameras and accessories. Key lens data provides frame-accurate information about:

ZEISS eXtended Data saves time and money in VFX, virtual production and green-screen productions by providing frame-accurate information about:

On set.
ZEISS eXtended Data enables members of the crew to monitor lens settings in real-time, pre-visualize modified images and to use new, automated search functions within data wrangling.
Post-production.
No need for data from shooting grids and grey cards anymore. Work with distortion and shading data provided straight from the lens: more efficient and precise – especially in compositing.
Plugins for Compositing Software.
Additional plug-ins provided by ZEISS allow for an easy implementation of ZEISS eXtended Data in a number of leading software tools.
