The ARRI Signature Primes, designed with an open-standard LPL mount, deliver flexible, camera-independent performance with a wide range of focal lengths, including matching zooms. The 12mm - 280mm Signature Prime, part of this 16-lens series, supports all sensor sizes up to full-frame, large-format, providing rich, organic images, beautiful bokeh, delicate flares, and a fast maximum aperture for stunning shallow depth of field. This lens softens the large-format look for natural skin tones and deep blacks, with smooth focus transitions that elegantly highlight subjects.

For creative diffusion, the Signature Prime features a magnetic rear net holder for adding stockings, nets, or voile, allowing tailored visual effects. Eleven iris blades produce beautifully rounded bokeh, while a telecentric design minimizes breathing. The integrated LDS-2 lens data system is fully compatible with ARRI’s LDS-1 and communicates seamlessly with Cooke’s /i Technology.

Each Signature Prime is crafted with magnesium housings, aluminum gear rings, and features focus markings in feet. Lightweight and water-resistant, these lenses include anti-reflective coatings, internal baffles, and traps to reduce barrel flare. Designed for resilience, the lens mechanics offer easy access for servicing at ARRI centers, ensuring durability even under demanding conditions.
