Zoom in on Zeiss Radiance

Posted on Mar 29, 2025 by Pro Moviemaker

Zeiss expands its Supreme Prime Radiance range with three cine zoom lenses

Users of the Zeiss Supreme Prime Radiance range who need zoom lenses to match can now call on the Supreme Zoom Radiance set, which includes three high-end cine zooms in 15-30mm, 28-80mm and 70-200mm. Featuring the same blue lens coating as the primes, these lenses deliver a similar look, with consistent flares and a warmer colour rendition.

The Supreme Radiance zooms and primes add texture and atmosphere to a scene by controlling artistic flares in a reproducible way when focused light is aimed down the lens barrel. While zooming, the shape of the Radiance flares uniquely changes in shot, providing even more creative options.

These lenses offer gentle sharpness, combined with an aesthetic focus fall-off, a very shallow depth-of-field and smooth bokeh. The look has a warmer colour rendition compared to standard coated lenses.

The Supreme Zoom Radiances feature consistent positions for the iris, focus and zoom rings, along with a front diameter of 114mm for easy changes between Supreme Prime and Zoom lenses. Compact in design, the zoom lenses weigh just 3.18kg/7.01lb.

Equipped with Zeiss eXtended Data technology, the lenses provide data on lens vignetting and distortion, in addition to standard metadata via the Cooke /i technology protocol. This speeds up workflows, particularly for VFX and virtual production. Prices are yet to be announced.
