Recent on the market are Carl Zeiss/Arriflex Ultra Primes, 12 high-performance lenses with focal lengths of 10mm to 135mm, covering the full Super 35 format. Zeiss and Arri have worked together on these relatively small and light lenses, optimized for close-focus, which balance the aspects of contrast, color uniformity, and color saturation with the high-speed T 1.9 rating and low aperture-induced focus shift.
