Relying on an Industry Workhorse
The Ultra Primes are one of the most widely used and respected prime lens sets in professional cinema. Trust their proven versatility and consistent performance across diverse productions, making them a reliable choice for any high-end project.

Achieving Pristine Optical Quality
This set delivers a clean, sharp, high-contrast image with excellent colour fidelity and minimal aberrations. This results in a very modern and desirable cinematic look, providing pristine image quality that holds up to critical scrutiny.

Streamlining On-Set Workflow
A key advantage is the consistent mechanics across all lenses in the set. They share a common front diameter and consistent gear positions for focus and iris, significantly streamlining matte box, follow focus, and lens motor setups, saving valuable time during lens changes.
