The Zeiss Supreme Prime Radiance lenses are the most expressive and cinematic variant of the Zeiss Supreme Prime range: state-of-the-art Full Frame spherical prime lenses that share exactly the same optical design as the standard Supreme Primes, but with a special proprietary coating — known as the Radiance Coating — that produces a warm, golden, and visually distinctive flare: controlled, predictable, and beautiful, without compromising sharpness or contrast when there are no light sources in the frame. They are the perfect tool for cinematographers seeking the highest level of modern technical performance combined with the evocative visual character and personality of the great classic vintage lenses — but with the reliability, consistency, and mechanical modernity of a cutting-edge lens.
With a maximum aperture of T1.5 across the majority of focal lengths — T2.1 on the 100mm and 135mm —, full Full Frame coverage, a 15-blade iris for exceptional circular bokeh, and Zeiss’s integrated eXtended Data (XD) metadata system — compatible with the /i Technology, Cooke /i, and ARRI LDS protocols —, the Supreme Prime Radiance lenses are among the fastest, most modern, and most versatile lenses available in the Full Frame market. Uniform 95mm front diameter across the full set. Native LPL mount — with LPL-PL adapter included. Colour-matched across all focal lengths in the set and with the standard Supreme Primes.
Perfect for: cinematographers seeking the highest Full Frame technical performance with a distinctive and personal visual signature — constant T1.5, warm golden predictable flare, 15-blade iris, integrated XD metadata, and full coverage of any large-format sensor —, for auteur productions, feature films, commercials, and any project where technical modernity and visual personality are equally prioritised.
