ZEISS Supreme Prime Radiance lenses enable cinematographers to create beautiful, consistent and controlled flares in the image while maintaining contrast and avoiding transmission loss. Yet, they offer all attributes of a modern cinema lens: large-format coverage, high speed, robustness and smooth and reliable focus.

Much like the Supreme Primes, the Radiance lenses are robust, professional-grade cinema lenses designed to cover large-format systems, such as full-frame, thanks to a 46.3mm image circle. Also, these lenses feature a fast maximum aperture of T1.5 for shallow depth of field and excellent operation in low-light conditions.

The fast maximum T-stop of T1.5 combined with a 16-blade circular aperture provides a smooth transition between in-focus and out-of-focus areas of the scene. Cinematographers will be able to create images with rich texture and greater depth.

A newly developed T* blue coating provides cinematographers with even more options for their image. Cinematographers can control the effect through careful use and placement of lighting in the shot. Under normal lighting, the Supreme Prime Radiance lenses will render like similar modern lenses. With select lighting directed into the lens, they will begin to flare. The Supreme Prime Radiance lenses are also slightly warmer than the Supreme Primes though they maintain critical qualities that allow them to capture textures and details with a crisp, yet organic look.
