Zeiss has revealed Aatma: a new range of nine high‑end, full‑frame cine lenses. The line-up consists of 18mm, 25mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, 65mm, 85mm, 100mm, and 135mm primes, all with a T1.5 maximum aperture. The Aatma range is positioned above Zeiss’ CP.3 and Nano Prime cine lenses, and is roughly equivalent in price to the company’s Supreme offerings. The design of Aatma lenses is said to have been inspired by some of Zeiss's most iconic 20th century lenses, while incorporating the mechanical reliability, data integration, and workflow compatibility that's expected for current video production.
