Ultra 16 Lenses – A Complete Set of Modern Super 16 High Speed Primes


SUPER FAST CLOSE FOCUS

The Super 16 Renaissance

Continuous advances in lenses, film stock and postproduction technologies have elevated the Super 16 film format to new levels of image quality and production efficiency. Super 16 is now routinely used for standard and high definition television productions, feature films, commercials and documentaries, and with stunning results. By shooting Super 16, productions gain many of the advantages of shooting film - the film look, its unsurpassed exposure latitude, natural color reproduction, variable camera speeds, ramps, proven archivability and the fact that film is the only globally accepted standard format - at affordable production costs. The small size and light weight of Super 16 equipment has the extra benefit of easy portability for fast-paced production environments.

The Art of Ultra 16

The art of cinematography is closely tied to the art of creating the cinematographer's tools. The art of successful lens design has been advanced with a new, complete set of high speed close focus lenses: the Ultra 16 lenses. Like the Master Primes, the Ultra 16 lenses combine high speed with outstanding optical performance. With a widest stop of T1.3 they create shallow depth of field and allow shooting on tight lighting budgets or under severe time pressure. Equaled by no other Super 16 lenses in optical performance, they join the other ARRI lenses in elevating the Super 16 image to its highest possible quality.

All nine Ultra 16 lenses (6, 8, 9.5, 12, 14, 18, 25, 35, 50 mm) cover the full Super 16 format and are fully compatible with the optical quality, color balance and ergonomics of the other ARRI lenses. The Ultra 16 lenses are the perfect companions to the new Super 16 cameras, the ARRIFLEX 416, 416 Plus and 416 Plus HS.
