The 135mm Master Prime is one in a set of 16 from ARRI/Zeiss featuring excellent resolution, advanced contrast, almost no breathing, and a fast T1.3 aperture for achieving shallow depth of field. Ranging from 12mm to 150mm, the Master Primes offer the skin tones and color rendition for which Zeiss is noted, and are color-matched for consistency across the set. A focal length of 135 mm is sufficiently telephoto to separate the subject from its surroundings, but not so telephoto that the perspective becomes flat, allowing faces to maintain a pleasing three dimensionality. For a gentle and natural bokeh, the Master Prime 135 is equipped with the same precision iris that has allowed all Master Primes to project beautiful round out of focus highlights at all apertures.

Also like all Master Primes, the 135 mm shows a high resolution, high contrast image with very low flares and veiling glare. In this age of a digital cameras with a wide exposure latitude it is increasingly important for the lens to transmit the full contrast of the scene to the sensor. This is a task that the Master Primes, with their unique lens coating, carefully crafted light traps and a number of specially formulated light-absorbent internal paints excel at, resulting in the maximum contrast range on the sensor for clean highlights and deep, rich blacks. Through the use of unique technologies and years of experience in lens design, the Master Primes deliver an exceptionally rich starting point from which the cinematographer can shape and sculpt the image creatively, be that through lighting, filters or digital manipulations in post.

The widest aperture of T1.3 and the Master Primes’ unique ability to maintain their high image quality even wide open allow the creation of an extremely shallow depth of field when desired. Depth of field can be used to create more or less separation between the subject and its surroundings. And last, but not least, to facilitate close-ups, the Master Prime 135 has been designed with a close focus range of 0.95 m (37”). Even at that close focus range, The 135 mm maintains its high image quality. ARRI 135mm Master Prime Lens (K2.47619.0) is available in UBMS Dubai showroom.
