Signature Primes Zooms
The Signature look delivers a rich, immersive visual style defined by natural warmth, lifelike skin tones,
and exceptionally smooth bokeh that adds cinematic depth to every frame. Known for outstanding highlight and
shadow retention, Signature lenses produce images full of texture, soul, and elegance — across all formats
and resolutions. With a remarkable focal range from 12 mm to 510 mm, the ARRI Signature Primes and Signature
Zooms offer the widest lens coverage in the industry, empowering filmmakers with unmatched creative flexibility.
Iconic imagery from ARRI Signature lensesModern lenses. Timeless look
The Signature Zooms performed similarly to a prime lens, giving us clean yet delicate images, especially at T2.8 on the 24-75 mm lens, which was what I was mainly on.
Rachel Liew – Cinematographer
The 65-300 mm lens is FANTASTIC. Just like the Signature Primes, this zoom has super smooth bokeh which helps accentuate the 3-dimensional pop of the subject.
Eric Girgash – Director of Photography
The Signature Primes are lightweight, with a lovely clarity to the edges of the frame and no distortion even on the wide lenses.

The image that the LF and the Signatures produces seems, to me, more like what my eyes see than anything else I have experienced so far.
Roger Deakins ASC, BSC, CBE – Cinematographer
I love the image from the Signatures. It’s a very clean look, but not too sharp; it has a softness that seems very film-like to me, and when I put flare in the lens it really looks beautiful.

As a cinematographer, our obligation is to show things in a better way and in a different way, in ways you haven’t seen before. These lenses give us that possibility.
Christopher Doyle HKSC – Cinematographer
In my opinion, Paramount’s hit series "The Envoys" could only be shot with ARRI Signature Zoom lenses. I didn't see any other option for the levels of quality, contrast, and definition that I was looking for.
Miguel P. Gilaberte AEC – Cinematographer
ARRI’s Signature Primes are an example of perfection in lens design. They are immaculate. The ability to add rear elements to give a distinctive look is an added bonus.
Michael Seresin ONZM, BSC – Cinematographer
I was pleasantly surprised by the lenses' distortion-free image. No matter what focal length I set, the lines were straight, with no edge blur or vignetting. Skin tones are soft, smooth, and cosmetic, but also vital and natural.
Oliver Maier – Cinematographer
For this project I wanted to use ARRI Signature Primes for their combination of warmth and smooth skin rendition with a modern look and crisp blacks. The director asked me to consider using a zoom lens for framing flexibility and dynamic shots. ARRI Signature Zooms were the perfect solution because they preserve the unique image quality and cinematic look that I love in Signature Primes, without compromise.
Dennis Zanatta – Director of Photography
