The 12mm Master Prime is one in a set of 16 from ARRI, featuring excellent resolution, advanced contrast, almost no breathing, and a fast T1.3 aperture for achieving shallow depth of field. Ranging from 12 to 150mm, the Super35-format Master Primes offer the skin tones and color rendition for which Zeiss is noted and are color-matched for consistency across the set. These lenses incorporate an iris with at least nine blades for a cinematic-looking bokeh with distinct focus falloff. Dual floating elements provide optimal close-focus performance, minimizing breathing when focusing. The advanced T*XP coating reduces reflections and glare while improving contrast.
