This highly customized 12-piece cinema set is an extremely rare, "painterly" vintage kit. Stripping the proprietary Zeiss \(T^{*}\) coatings and modifying the optics transforms classic, high-contrast lenses into expressive, low-contrast flare-machines. They are highly sought-after for shooting on modern, ultra-sharp digital sensors. [1]
Painterly, uncoated, silicone protected. Cinematographers specifically use this set for grading from behind the lens. @T2.1, outstanding effects can be created with grading under lower lighting conditions. There are some amazing filtration options as well with these lenses. Filter selection of OSC: B+W, Diffusion, FX, Color, Grads, Colored Polarizing, Electronic Revolving 1970’s Prisms etc
Key Characteristics of the Set
-
Un-Coated Optics: Removing the anti-reflective coating drops the contrast dramatically, increases halation, and produces beautiful, unpredictable flares when hit with light. [1]
-
Silicone Protected: Because un-coated optical glass is more susceptible to environmental wear and chemical breakdown over time, the exterior elements undergo specialized silicone coating protection to ensure longevity without compromising the vintage character. [1]
-
Macro Modified: Focus Optics extensively modified the minimum close focus. Typically, this applies to the wide/standard focal lengths like the 16mm, 24mm, and 32mm, letting you focus mere millimeters away from the front element for extreme, highly detailed close-ups. [1, 2]
-
PL Cinema Housing: Converted into rugged PL mounts with uniform 80mm outside diameters for easy matte box compatibility, geared focus rings, and cinema-standard mechanics. [1, 2]
The Focal Lengths & Century 2x Extender
This massive, 11-prime lineup offers unparalleled focal flexibility from ultra-wide to telephoto, including the rare 180mm:
[1]
-
Primes: 16mm, 20mm, 24mm, 28mm, 32mm, 40mm, 50mm, 85mm, 100mm, 135mm, and 180mm.
-
Century 2x PL Extender: This expands your focal length options significantly. By attaching the Century Precision PL Extender between the lens and the camera, you double the effective focal length (e.g., transforming the 180mm into a massive 360mm telephoto lens) while maintaining a gorgeous cinematic image circle, though you will lose two stops of light. [1]
Cinematographers frequently pair un-coated and macro-modified Zeiss glass with digital cinema cameras to "soften" the sterile look of modern sensors. The un-coated elements excel at capturing unique blooming effects and organic bokeh. Because of their rarity and custom modifications, sets like this are typically valued at tens of thousands of dollars and are often handled as specialty rentals through specialized houses like Old School Cameras
