“The image that the Mini LF and the Signature Primes produces seems, to me, more like what my eyes see than anything else I experienced so far.”

Cinematographer Roger Deakins CBE, ASC, BSC (known for 1917 [shot on Mini LF and Signature Primes], Blade Runner 2049, Skyfall, Sicario, No Country for Old Men and The Shawshank Redemption).

Our ARRI Signature Prime lenses are in a rental 6-set ranging from 18mm to 125mm, all T1.8 and LPL mount. They cover large format, full frame, 35mm, VistaVision, LF, FF, VV – call it whatever you want! They obviously also cover Super35 sensors and are backwards compatible (optimal results with all sensors due to telecentric design). Furthermore, we can provide LPL mounts when you rent our Signature Prime lenses, we have in stock LPL mounts for RED DSMC2 cameras, RED Ranger, Sony Venice, ARRI Alexa Mini, Phantom VEO 4K and obviously ARRI Alexa Mini LF cameras. So you can use our Signature Primes on almost all leading cinema cameras. We’ve got you covered for ARRR Signature Prime rental in Los Angeles!

Designed for use with full-frame, large-format sensors, the versatile ARRI Signature Primes also cover Super 35. Dedicated LF Open Gate, and Super 35 Open Gate magnetic format masks enable you to switch between formats, and are included with the lens. Stockings, nets, and voile can be used for diffusion when mounted in the Signature Prime’s rear net holder. Eleven iris blades produce smooth, rounded bokeh effects, and a telecentric design minimizes breathing.

ARRI Signature Prime rental from Panny Hire L.A creates organic images, attractive bokeh and a fast T1.8 aperture for achieving shallow depth of field. This prime lens gently softens the large-format look, and produces pleasant, natural skin tones. Focus falls off smoothly, highlighting your subject against its background frame.

ARRI Signature Prime lenses are equipped with the LPL (Large Positive Locking) lens mount, a key element of ARRI’s large-format camera system. The wider diameter and shorter flange focal depth allow LPL lenses to be small and lightweight, with a fast T-stop and pleasing bokeh, a combination of features that would not be possible with the old PL lens mount.

Constructed with magnesium housings and aluminum gear rings, each Signature Prime is lightweight, water-resistant, and features focus marks in feet. Anti-reflective coatings, light baffles, and light traps help to minimize any internal barrel flare.

Detachable magnetic rear filter holder, any material can be used to make a filter, from tinfoil and fishing line to stockings, wrapping paper, and vintage fabrics—each of them affecting bokeh, flaring and diffusion in different ways. Alternatively, glass elements can be used to simulate vintage lenses, with images sharp in the center but deteriorating in the corners. Simply visit your local optician with a filter holder and ask them to fit a close-up lens of whatever strength, coating or tint you want to try. The filter holder is magnetic, allowing fast and easy changes between looks, with no tools needed.

Discover how retro filmmaking techniques such as nets, and diopters can help you customize the look of your Signature Prime lenses.

LDS-2 Next-Generation Lens Data System
The ARRI Signature Prime lenses are the first to use ARRI’s new LDS-2 Lens Data System, with high data rates and absolute encoders for lightening fast initializing. LDS-2 extends the possibilities of lens data technology. The LDS-2 lens data system is backwards-compatible with ARRI’s LDS-1, and communicates with Cooke’s /i Technology.
