Description — Zeiss 135mm T1.5
The ZEISS Supreme Prime 135mm T1.5 is a dedicated cinema prime lens built for the PL mount, covering a full-frame image circle and designed for the Cinema / Video camera system. Its T1.5 maximum aperture delivers impressive light transmission for a telephoto focal length, giving cinematographers meaningful control over exposure and depth in demanding lighting conditions. As a prime lens with a fixed 135mm focal length, it maintains a singular optical path optimized for rendering consistency — there are no zoom mechanics here, just purpose-built image quality at a single focal length that sits squarely in telephoto range.
Focus is entirely manual, which is the professional standard for cinema lenses operated with a dedicated focus puller. The lens does not include image stabilization, as is typical for cinema primes mounted on stabilized rigs. Weighing 2.27kg, the Supreme Prime 135mm is a substantial piece of glass that merits careful consideration when building out camera rigs, choosing support systems, or planning gimbal setups.
No filter thread size is listed in the specifications, so filter integration should be verified with the manufacturer or via third-party matte box solutions.
