Optimized for Large Format
Pair these lenses with ARRI’s large-format cameras to fully experience their intended aesthetic. The larger sensor combined with these primes will deliver a shallower depth of field and a more immersive, “cinematic” feel.
Embrace the Bokeh
The Signature Primes’ unique bokeh is a key characteristic. Pay attention to how out-of-focus elements interact with your subjects, as the swirling oval highlights can be a powerful compositional tool.
Benefit for HDR and UHD
The minimal chromatic aberration and refined micro-contrast rendering make these lenses exceptionally well-suited for high-resolution (UHD) and High Dynamic Range content, ensuring clean, detailed images even in challenging light.
LPL Mount Advantage
The LPL mount allows for faster and more secure lens changes, especially with larger, heavier large-format optics. Ensure your camera system is compatible with the LPL mount or has the appropriate adapter.
Subtle Character
Unlike highly stylized vintage lenses, Signature Primes offer a modern, clean look with subtle, pleasing aberrations. This means you get a high-quality image with character that doesn’t overwhelm the subject.
