PL Mount and Lenses
The 416 cameras use the industry standard 54 mm stainless steel PL mount. The
stable backfocus afforded by the PL mount and by the robust camera construction
is a hallmark of all ARRI lm cameras.
The PL mount makes the vast selection of high quality lenses for the Super
16 and 35 mm formats available to the ARRIFLEX 416 cameras. This includes the
Master Primes, which combine the highest optical quality with a super fast stop of
T1.3, as well as the Ultra Primes, the modern prime lens set with the widest focal
range from 8 to 180 mm. It also includes all the specialty lenses available only for
lm cameras, such as macro lenses, super long telephoto zooms or zooms with a
super wide range, sheyes, extreme telephotos, shift & tilt lenses, tilt focus lenses,
reverse perspective lenses, squishy lenses and so on.
A complete set of new T1.3 prime lenses has been developed specically for
the Super 16 format: the Ultra 16 lenses. With focal lengths of 6, 8, 9.5, 12, 14, 18,
25, 35 and 50 mm, the Ultra 16 lenses cover the whole range typically required by
a production. They are a perfect match for the 416 cameras, exhibiting the same
resistance to are as the Master Primes and giving unprecedented image quality
even when opened to their maximum aperture of T1.3. Their high speed creates
shallow depth of eld and allows shooting on tight lighting budgets or under
severe time pressure.
The 416 uses the industry standard PL mount.
This affords stable backfocus and an unparalleled selection of lenses.
