The workhorse of European cinema — 16 focal lengths, T1.9, reliable and affordable, on every other set for 20 years.

Ultra Primes are not sexy, but effective. T1.9, compact, lightweight, 16 focal lengths from 8mm to 180mm. No extreme character, no magic — but absolutely reliable, quick to set up, and available at every rental house worldwide. The glass with which most European feature films are shot.
