ARRI/ZEISS Ultra Prime 85mm T1.9 — PL

Key Features

The 85mm is the portrait focal, the one that lifts a face out of its surroundings and holds the audience there. At T1.9 the background dissolves into clean separation while the subject stays razor-sharp, and that contrast is the emotional engine: total attention, nowhere to look but the eyes. The Ultra Prime character keeps it modern and neutral rather than romantic, intimacy rendered with precision, leaving the mood entirely in the hands of light and grade.

  • 85mm focal length, classic portrait and close-up prime
  • T1.9 maximum aperture, beautiful background separation
  • PL mount, compatible with all cinema cameras
