ARRI/ZEISS Ultra Prime 50mm T1.9 — PL

Key Features

The 50mm steps in close enough to make a scene intimate while keeping the geometry of a face entirely natural. DPs choose this focal for the quiet, contained moments, the two-shot across a table, the close-up that has to feel unmanipulated. The Ultra Prime rendering gives it precision rather than flattery: sharp, neutral, faithful, so emotion comes from the performance and the framing, not from the lens softening the truth.

  • 50mm focal length, standard/slightly telephoto perspective
  • T1.9 maximum aperture
  • PL mount, compatible with all cinema cameras
