π¬ CARL ZEISS JENA BIOMETAR 80MM F2.8 CINE MOD PRIME PORTRAIT LENS | ARRI PL
MOUNT If youβre chasing authentic vintage Zeiss character with true cinema-ready handling, this Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar 80mm F2.8 has been cine-modded for professional filmmaking and video production. Biometar is well known for its smooth roll-off, natural contrast, and classic βfilmicβ rendering that digital shooters love, especially for portraits, interviews, fashion, and narrative close-ups. This lens has been converted to ARRI PL mount and fitted with two 0.8-pitch follow focus gears for precise control of focus and aperture β perfect for use with a follow focus system, matte box setups, and controlled iris pulls. It also includes an 80mm OD cine lens hood with a 77mm filter thread, making it easy to run diffusion, ND, or creative filters on set. Important coverage note: this lens covers a 6Γ6cm medium format frame, giving you a generous image circle. That extra coverage is a big advantage for many cinema cameras and allows more flexibility with sensor coverage, scanning, and creative framing. Expect the classic Zeiss Jena signature: pleasing micro-contrast, rich yet organic tones, and beautiful separation at F2.8 with a vintage feel that modern clinical lenses often lack.βοΈ TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
