Description — Zeiss 100mm T1.5
The ZEISS Supreme Prime 100mm T1.5 is a professional cinema prime lens designed for full-frame sensor coverage and built around the industry-standard PL Mount. With a maximum aperture of T1.5, it is well-suited for low-light cinematography and achieving controlled depth of field in narrative and commercial production contexts. The lens operates with manual focus, placing it firmly in the professional cinema category where precise focus control via dedicated follow focus systems is the norm.
Weighing 1.6kg, it has a solid, production-ready build while remaining manageable across extended shooting days. The 95mm filter thread ensures broad compatibility with cinema matte boxes and filter accessories used on professional sets.
