Full-size cover
The Nano Primes are designed to fit full-frame sensors, giving cinematographers of all levels the ability to create images rich in volume and personality.
A cinematic look in every shot
The Nano Primes’ large aperture, combined with their very short minimum focusing distance, allows for shallow depth of field, even when shooting at wide angles. With a maximum aperture of T1.5 and a 12-blade rounded diaphragm, these lenses produce exquisite bokeh, enabling the creation of truly cinematic images. Offering versatile and subtle sharpness reminiscent of Supreme Prime lenses, they are an excellent choice for B and C cameras, or a cost-effective alternative.
Complete cinematic ergonomics in a compact format
Nano Prime lenses offer exceptional precision and durability. With a compact design housing a 95mm compendium ring and an 86mm filter thread, these lenses integrate seamlessly into gimbals and drones. The consistent positioning of the focus and aperture rings simplifies lens changes, complemented by easy-to-read markings, smooth 280° focus rotation , and precise 90° aperture ring rotation for meticulous control.
Tested for harsh conditions
Designed for harsh conditions such as cold and rain, Nano Prime lenses undergo rigorous testing to ensure unmatched durability in the most demanding shooting environments. Nano Prime lenses are a reliable choice for everyday use.
Interchangeable frame
Nano Prime lenses feature an interchangeable mount, facilitated by the ZEISS IMS (Interchangeable Mount System). With a rear adjustment area that can be adjusted by the user using shims, these lenses guarantee perfect precision, even with entry-level cameras that typically have higher mechanical mount tolerances.
Electronic interface and real-time data
The Nano Prime lenses feature an electronic interface integrated into the mount, enabling real-time transmission of metadata, including focal length, focus distance, and aperture, directly to the camera. Additional lens data, such as distortion and vignetting, is accessible within the ZEISS CinCraft ecosystem. This information is invaluable for post-production (CinCraft Mapper) and is compatible with the new ZEISS CinCraft Scenario camera tracking system.
Used and maintained worldwide
Hand-assembled and meticulously engraved with individually calibrated rings, ZEISS Nano Prime lenses prioritize ease of service from the earliest stages of development. In recent years, ZEISS has established a robust global service network, with authorized repairers providing maintenance to factory standards in the USA, Europe, and Asia.
