ZEISS Nano Primes are the first high-speed (T1.5 throughout) cine lenses made specifically for mirrorless full frame cameras – initially available with Sony E-mount. These lenses deliver a captivating, adaptable aesthetic suited for a wide array of shooting scenarios, boasting a compact, lightweight build that facilitates seamless integration into any production environment. Available in six focal lengths (18mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, 100mm), this comprehensive set covers everything from expansive landscapes to intimate close-ups.
Included in this set:
Versatile cinematic look
ZEISS developed the optical design of the new Nano Primes specifically for mirrorless film cameras. Christophe Casenave, responsible for Cinematography Products at ZEISS explains “Thanks to the close focusing distance and the high speed of T1.5, Nano Primes enable images with an extremely shallow depth of field, even in the wide-angle range. The elegant bokeh and the harmonious focus fall-off ensure a versatile look that meets different artistic requirements, whether for indie productions, documentaries, commercials, series, or feature films.” The universally applicable look can also be combined with the high- end lenses of the Supreme Prime family. Casenave adds, “With a similarly gentle sharpness and aesthetic focus fall-off, the Nano Primes are an ideal complement to the Supreme Primes and, in combination, are also ideal for B and C cameras and lower-budget productions.”
Compact and lightweight design with familiar cine ergonomics
Designed with the needs of film crews in mind, the Nano Prime lenses strike a balance between lightweight construction and professional-grade ergonomics. Their compact form factor, coupled with ZEISS's renowned craftsmanship, ensures reliable performance in dynamic or cramped shooting environments, even in challenging conditions. Consistent positioning of the focus and iris rings across all focal lengths ensures quick and uncomplicated lens changes. The calibrated focus scales are easy to read and a long 280° focus rotation aids precise focus pulling. In addition, the iris ring features 90° rotation and a non-linear scale to enable fine aperture adjustment.
Flexibility through integration of lens data and interchangeable mount
The lenses transmit real-time metadata—including focal length, focus distance, and aperture value—to the camera via an integrated electronic interface. Additional lens data for distortion and vignetting is available in the ZEISS CinCraft ecosystem and thus for post-production (CinCraft Mapper) as well as in the recently introduced CinCraft Scenario camera tracking system. Adding to their versatility, Nano Primes are ready for the simple exchange of additional mounts thanks to the proven ZEISS IMS (Interchangeable Mount System).
