Celebrated for its minimal geometric distortion and true-to-life color rendition, the ARRI Master Anamorphic 180mm T2.8 stands out as the lengthiest in its lineup—rendering a constricted angle of capture, modest dimensions, and superior swiftness. Harmoniously color-matched with ARRI/ZEISS prime and ARRI/FUJINON zoom lenses, the lens's 15-blade iris yields engaging, elliptical bokeh with a delicate focus transition. It boasts impeccable optics that eliminate focus breathing and the undesirable anamorphic distortion known as 'mumps,' ensuring invariability of facial proportions.

Featuring ZEISS's acclaimed color accuracy, this master Anamorphic lens matches seamlessly with other ARRI/ZEISS lenses, producing exceptional on-screen aesthetics with a deep, engrossing cinematic flair. The 15-blade diaphragm crafts nuanced, oval bokeh well-suited for artistic highlights with superior contrast and a silky focus gradient. Imaging is unwavering across corners, maintaining the full 2.39:1 aspect ratio quality, while the generous T2.8 aperture affords depth of field control. Focus breathing and anamorphic distortions are eliminated, preserving the integrity of your visual narrative.

Optical Excellence

Equally compatible with Super 35 format and kitted out with ARRI PL mount denoted in feet, the lens's construction offers an optimal balance of lightness, size, and speed for graceful operability. The provision for data metadata via LDS interfaces augments convenience, while compatibility with ARRI LDS Extenders 1.4x and 2.0x extends the focal length reach when needed. A close-focus distance of 4.9 feet, paired with smooth manual rings, empowers precise control over both focus and aperture settings.

Build and Ergonomics

This lens is part of a robust suite of nine prime lenses, scaling from 28mm to 180mm, with the Master Anamorphic series further augmented by ARRI ALURA LDS Extenders 1.4x and 2.0x for heightened telephoto lengths up to 360mm. The inclusion of the unique Anamorphic Ultra Wide Zoom AUWZ 19-36/T4.2 facilitates expansive angle shots exhibiting minimal distortion. Renowned for mingling compact form with minimal weight and optimal speed, the Master Anamorphics conveys a blissful defocus background effect, typifying the cinematic allure expected from modern cine lenses.

ARRI Master Anamorphic Collection

The ARRI Master Anamorphic series benefits from its diversely functional Flare Sets, granting each focal length a bespoke flare set with distinct glass elements procuring flares, ghosting, and veiling glare. Singular or collective utilization of these elements presents the lens with three heterogenous visual impressions, bolstering in-scene creativity. Quick interchangeability is facilitated by the ARRI Master Anamorphic Toolkit, with each flare component framed and pre-aligned for expedient swapping. Thus, one set of Master Anamorphics can yield four unique anamorphic variants.
