Master Anamorphic Lenses

Revolutionary

The Master Anamorphic lenses have been jointly developed by ARRI and Carl Zeiss. The anamorphic lenses offer a unique optical performance, with optimized flare and bokeh as well as state-of-the-art lens barrels featuring improved dust and water protection.

  • Revolutionary new optical technology in anamorphic lenses:
    - Virtually no image breathing
    - No anamorphic mumps (fat face effect)
  • Optimized anamorphic bokeh:
    - Evenly illuminated oval out of focus highlights
    - New developed iris with 15 aperture blades
  • Pleasant out of focus areas with traditional anamorphic look and a unique image language
  • Anamorphic blue streak lines in a very unique new style and optimized flares and reflections for additional artistic look
  • Same reliable mechanics as the market knows from ARRI/ZEISS Master Prime lenses

Application

The Master Anamorphic lenses open up new creative opportunities, making shots possible that would have been considered impossible before. The important and distinguishing visual facet of anamorphic images, the appearance of out-of-focus background elements or bokeh, will be created by the newly developed iris with 15 aperture blades, creating perfectly oval and evenly illuminated out-of-focus highlights. This ensures a pleasing bokeh that filmmakers will enjoy manipulating creatively.
