From the unique 8R extreme wide-angle lens to the 180mm telephoto lens. All Ultra Prime focal lengths retain their outstanding image quality even when focussed close across the entire S35 format. They are lightweight, standard speed lenses that are a perfect optical match for the faster Master Prime lenses. They were developed jointly by ARRI and ZEISS, manufactured by ZEISS and distributed exclusively by ARRI.
Andrew Lesnie used the ARRI Ultra Primes in the „Lord of the Rings“ saga (2001-2003).
