Broad Compatibility. The ARRI 200mm T2.5 Signature Prime covers a wide range of sensor sizes and cameras from any manufacturer, from Super 35 to large format. This lens is compatible with the ARRI LDS-2 lens data system, which streamlines setup, post-production, and VFX work. It’s also backwards-compatible with LDS-1 and communicates with Cooke’s /i Technology.

Fast Telephoto Prime. This 200mm prime softens the large-format look, giving you natural skin tones and pleasing, rounded bokeh. You also get smooth focus fall-off for great subject/background isolation. The fast T2.5 maximum aperture lets you achieve extremely shallow depth of field.

Cine Build. The ARRI 200mm has a durable magnesium barrel with aluminum gear rings and a focus scale in feet, there’s a six-foot minimum focusing distance, and the lens is water-resistant. Each of its elements has an anti-reflective coating, which helps to minimize barrel flare.

Lens Support Recommended. The 200mm is fairly large at 8 lbs. and 8.6 inches long, so you might want to rent a Wooden Camera 15mm Universal Lens Support to help support the lens’s weight when using a shoulder mount (not included) or other 15mm rail system.
