The lenses are based on the high-speed Zeiss Supreme Prime lens family with the benefit of the new T*blue coating, which offers a distinctive look and consistent flares. "The Zeiss Supreme Prime Radiance lenses deliv- er stunning, consistent flares across all focal lengths that cinematographers can create at will," says Christophe Casenave, product manager for cinema products at Zeiss. "The new lens family has been infused with Zeiss's experience and passion for pre- mium-quality cinematography lenses — combined with its aspiration to support filmmakers throughout the creative process," says Casenave. The Zeiss Supreme Prime Radiance lenses are available as a set of seven focal lengths of between 21 and 100 millimeters, all with a maximum aperture of T1.5. This makes it possible to capture subtle nuances, even in poor light. "When we spoke to filmmakers and industry experts, we took a close look at the appeal of flares and their unique impact on the atmosphere of a movie," says Casenave. He describes how Zeiss is responding to users' needs to integrate flares to en- sure greater creative freedom with the lenses. "We didn't just want to reproduce the effects, but to cre- ate tools that would allow this effect to be achieved at any time and in a controlled manner, and so the T* blue coating was born," he explains. The new coating allows users to create flares in the right light without any losses in contrast or transmission — and in high quality. In addition to their flare behavior, the new lenses offer all the benefits of the Zeiss Supreme Primes. Due to their image circle diameter of 46.3 milli- meters, the lenses cover the current large-format cinematography sensors and are as such compat- ible with the latest camera models, such as the Sony Venice, Arri Alexa LF and Mini LF and Red Monstro. Moreover, they feature a front diameter of 95 millimeters with consistently positioned focus and aperture rings. They weigh around 1,500 grams on average. The lenses are equipped with the Zeiss eXtend- ed Data metadata technology launched in 2017, providing frame-by-frame data on lens vignetting and distortion in addition to the standard metadata provided using the Cooke /i technology1 protocol. This simplifies and speeds up workflows, particularly for VFX and virtual production. The Zeiss Supreme Prime Radiance lenses are available to order from now until March 31, 2020. The seven focal lengths — 21 mm T1.5, 25 mm T1.5, 29 mm T1.5, 35 mm T1.5, 50 mm T1.5, 85 mm T1.5 and 100 mm T1.5 — are available exclusively as a set from Zeiss Cinema dealers. The lenses will be delivered from April 2020 after the end of the ordering period. NAB 2020: CHANGES ARE COMING!
