Zeiss Super Speeds are arguably the most capable and some of the most beautiful vintage lenses available. Their T1.3 maximum aperture is an obvious advantage and puts them in rare company. The Mk II series of high speed prime lenses made by Zeiss in the 1990s. These lenses are known for outstanding image quality, factory focus and iris gears, metric and imperial focus marks, 80mm front diameter and a T1.3 maximum aperture. These lenses are legendary and have been used to capture many of Hollywood's magical moments.

Whether you are wide-open or stopped down, the images they produce are magic. From the special glass made from rare earth elements that can no longer be used to make lenses, to Zeiss' magic T* coating, these lenses just make people look good. They produce beautiful blue and magenta lens flares, and have minimal focus breathing especially on the wide focal lengths.

Super Speeds cover well beyond Super 35mm, so they are an excellent choice when you need to cover digital sensors that are larger than S35, like Alexa Mini Open Gate, and Alexa 35 Open Gate. The 25mm through 135mm even cover Alexa Mini LF 3.8 UHD 16x9 format which is right in between S35 and full frame. The 50mm nearly covers FF, and the 65mm, 85mm, and 135mm cover FF completely.

From The Shining (1980) to Straight Outta Compton (2015), Arrival (2016), there is a reason these lenses continue to be the first choice for many DPs. These are some of the best, most beautiful, and most well rounded cinema lenses ever made.

There is no optical difference between the MKII and MKIII series.
The MKIII have slightly bigger focus markings in feet OR meters, where as the MKII hase slightly smaller markings for both metric and imperial.
