Description
One of the most unique and sought-after cinema lenses ever produced. The ARRI/Zeiss Ultra Prime 8R is an 8mm rectilinear prime lens, PL mount, covering Super 35 format. It does something no ordinary 8mm can do: delivers a jaw-dropping ultra-wide perspective with zero fisheye distortion. Straight lines stay straight across the entire frame, right out to the edges, making it an entirely different beast to conventional extreme wide angles.
The "R" is the key. Rectilinear. That means architecture stays true, interiors feel vast without warping, horizon lines hold firm, and epic wide establishing shots look cinematic rather than gimmicky. This is the lens that makes spaces feel enormous and chase sequences feel relentless, all without that tired fisheye look.
