The ARRI Signature Zoom 45-135mm T2.8 is the telephoto cinema zoom of ARRI’s Signature Zoom family — and the natural, inseparable companion to the Signature Zoom 24-75mm: designed from the ground up with the same optical principles, the same visual character, and the same image quality as the Signature Primes, it covers the most widely used telephoto focal range in professional productions with a constant aperture of T2.8 throughout its entire focal range and absolutely no exposure ramping. Together, the 24-75mm and the 45-135mm form the most complete and versatile Signature zoom system on the market — two lenses that cover continuously from 24mm all the way to 135mm with identical look, identical colour, and absolutely coherent optical character.
Its look is ARRI’s unmistakable Signature look: warm, timeless imagery, soft and extraordinarily natural skin tones, smooth and enveloping circular bokeh that is especially seductive in the telephoto range, controlled flares for maximum HDR compatibility, and unrivalled highlight and shadow detail retention. With full Full Frame and Large Format coverage, native LPL mount, ARRI’s integrated LDS-2 lens metadata system, resolving power up to 8K, a 114mm front diameter, a length of 269mm, a weight of 4.0 kg, and a minimum focus distance of 0.84m, the Signature Zoom 45-135mm is technically and visually the absolute benchmark in its category.
Perfect for: cinematographers seeking the ARRI Signature look in the telephoto range — constant T2.8, warm and timeless imagery, extraordinary skin tones, smooth Signature bokeh, Full Frame and Large Format coverage, LDS-2 metadata and up to 8K resolution —, as the natural companion to the Signature Zoom 24-75mm or as the primary zoom for auteur productions, feature films, high-end series, and commercials where telephoto versatility and prime-level visual quality are equally non-negotiable.
