Zeiss' All-New Anamorphic Lenses Have Motors and Swappable 'Looks'
Cinematic lenses unlike anything else.
Despite the integrated motors and expanded on-barrel controls, Zeiss says the Horizon lenses remain “remarkably lightweight.” They are about the same weight as comparable Zeiss Master Anamorphic 2x prime lenses, for example, despite their larger 114mm front diameter. All seven Horizon Anamorphic lenses share this same 114mm diameter, while their lengths range from 199 millimeters (7.8 inches) to 262 millimeters (10.3 inches).
The Horizon Anamorphic 35mm T2.3, 40mm T2.3, 50mm T2.3, and 75mm T2.3 are all 199 millimeters long, while the Horizon Anamorphic 110mm T2.3, 150mm T2.3, and 200mm T2.9 are each 262 millimeters long. Weights range from 2.42 to 3.25 kilograms (5.34 to 7.17 pounds).
Zeiss did not announce pricing for its new Horizon Anamorphic lenses, and filmmakers can expect them to cost a pretty penny. The 40mm, 50mm, and 75mm lenses are expected to start shipping this fall, while the 35mm, 100mm, 150mm, and 200mm lenses are due to arrive later this year or in 2027.
