Lens Overview — ARRI 150mm T1.3

The ARRI Master Prime 150mm is a fixed focal length cinema lens built for Super 35 format cameras and designed around the PL Mount standard. With a maximum aperture of T1.3, this telephoto prime delivers a notably shallow depth of field, making it a practical choice for cinematographers who need strong subject separation in controlled or low-light shooting environments. At 150mm, it sits at the long end of the telephoto range, lending itself naturally to portrait-style framing, close-up coverage, and compressed background rendering.

The lens is manually focused, which aligns with professional cinema workflows that rely on dedicated focus pullers and follow focus systems. It carries a weight of 4kg, reflecting the robust mechanical build expected of high-end cinema glass. The PL Mount ensures compatibility with a wide range of professional cinema camera bodies that accept the industry-standard PL fitting.

Image stabilization is not present, consistent with the manual, rig-based operation typical of cinema production environments. The lens is categorized as a cine-type prime intended for cinema and video camera systems, and its Super 35 image circle coverage positions it well for the sensor formats commonly used across high-end film and episodic television production. Focus is measured in feet on this particular variant.

Description — ARRI 150mm T1.3

The ARRI Master Prime 150mm lens is a prime cinema lens designed for the Super 35 format and fitted with a PL Mount for use with professional cinema and video camera systems. Operating at a maximum aperture of T1.3, it provides strong light-gathering capability and the shallow depth of field commonly sought in telephoto cinema work. The 150mm focal length places it firmly in the telephoto range, making it a natural fit for portrait-style framings, coverage shots, and compressed-perspective compositions.

Focus is entirely manual, consistent with the demands of high-end film production where dedicated focus pullers work with follow focus rigs and wireless FIZ systems. This particular variant features feet measurement markings on the focus scale. The lens weighs 4kg, a figure that reflects the solid mechanical construction required for rigorous production use.

There is no image stabilization, which is standard for lenses of this type used on stabilized rigs or locked-off camera setups. No filter thread size is specified for this lens.
