OVERVIEW

The Zeiss Super Speeds MKI (B Speeds) Prime Lenses are an exceptional vintage set, renowned for their distinctive visual style and enduring aesthetic. As the precursors of the now iconic Zeiss “Super Speed” lenses, these vintage gems feature rare earth element glass optics, known for delivering sharp and highly contrasted images.

unique selling point lies in their 9-blade iris, creating bokeh effects unlike any other lens. When shot wide open, out-of-focus pinpoint light sources take on a round orb shape.

Array of ranges

The B Speed ​​MKI series consists of five focal points ranging from 18mm to 85mm. The whole game has a front diameter of 80mm and a T1.4 opening. The weight of all the lenses is between 0.8kg and 1.3kg.

The Super Speed ​​T 1.4 objectives, also called High Speed ​​T1.4, were launched on the market due to the need for many directors to tell their stories with infamous amounts of light.
