Description — ARRI 35mm T1.9
The ARRI Master Anamorphic 35mm T1.9 is a professional prime cinema lens designed for the demands of high-end digital cinema production. With a PL Mount and Super 35 format coverage, it integrates directly into professional Cinema / Video workflows. The T1.9 maximum aperture gives cinematographers meaningful flexibility when working with available light or seeking a shallower depth of field in controlled environments.
As a prime lens with a fixed 35mm focal length, it provides a dedicated, repeatable perspective that many cinematographers favor for its optical consistency. The lens is entirely manual focus, consistent with the precision-oriented standards of professional film and digital cinema production. Focus distance markings are engraved in feet, a practical detail that matters on set.
The 95mm filter thread supports a wide range of cinema filtration accessories. At 2.59kg, the lens has the substantial build quality associated with cinema-grade optics, and should be paired with appropriate lens support hardware. No image stabilization is present, which is standard for lenses of this class operating within stabilized cinema rig environments.

Frequently Asked Questions — ARRI 35mm T1.9
