ARRI 16mm Master Prime Lens (PL, Feet)

The 16mm Master Prime is part of a 16-lens set from ARRI/Zeiss, renowned for its excellent resolution, enhanced contrast, minimal breathing, and fast T1.3 aperture that allows for a shallow depth of field. The Master Primes, ranging from 12mm to 150mm, are known for their superior skin tone reproduction and color accuracy, and are color-matched for consistency throughout the set. The lenses feature an iris with at least nine blades, offering cinematic bokeh and distinct focus fall-off. Dual floating elements optimize close-focus performance while reducing breathing. The T*XP coating minimizes reflections and glare, enhancing contrast.

Incorporating aspherical elements to reduce chromatic aberration, the ARRI/Zeiss Master Primes deliver exceptional image quality and clean chroma-keying. The lenses maintain high resolution even at wide apertures and close focus, with image sharpness extending to the corners. Each lens is equipped with a PL mount and an integrated LDS system, allowing for seamless lens data transfer to compatible cameras. The expanded focus scale provides ample room for marks, and fluorescent engravings ensure visibility in low-light conditions. The focus ring features markings in both feet and metric units, and can be reversed by a qualified technician.

The 16mm Master Prime Lens offers a minimum focus distance of 14", weighs only 4.9 pounds, and has a compact length of 8". The lenses are designed for consistency, with the same placement for focus, iris, and zoom rings, making them compatible with follow focus, zoom control, and F/I/Z wireless systems. The Master Prime lenses, including the 16mm, all have a standard 114mm front diameter, ensuring compatibility with matte box adapters, filters, and other accessories.
