TLS ZEISS SUPER SPEED Mk3 t1.3 primes

The Zeiss Super Speeds are legendary, and have been an industry workhorse for decades. Now, the Mk3 Super Speeds are available for rent from CineMechanics in a fresh rehousing by True Lens Services (TLS), which preserves their highly coveted image quality while bringing their physical features up to modern standards. The new rehousing features clear witness marks, a non-telescoping barrel, and a robust outer shell which can support the weight of clamp-on matte boxes.

The Super Speeds can be thought of as a sort of predecessor to other modern classics such as the ARRI/Zeiss Ultra Primes and Master primes, which built upon the wide success of the Super Speeds.

At a T1.3, the Super Speeds are very fast, making for lenses that are not only quite useful in low light but also capable of producing a very striking shallow depth-of-field effect. They're also very sharp and have good contrast, making for a versatile look which can be used for many different genres and types of project. This set also includes a rehoused 135mm Zeiss Standard Speed T2.1, a well matched pairing which adds extra capability on the telephoto end.
