  • Page 2 The Super 16 Renaissance Continuous advances in lenses, film stock and postproduction technologies have elevated the Super 16 film format to new levels of image quality and production efficiency. Super 16 is now routinely used for standard and high definition television productions, feature films, commercials and documen- taries, and with stunning results.
  • Page 3: Main Features

    ARRI lenses in elevating the Super 16 image to its highest possible quality. All nine Ultra 16 lenses (6, 8, 9.5, 12, 14, 18, 25, 35, 50 mm) cover the full Super 16 format and are fully compatible with the optical quality, color balance and ergonomics of the other ARRI lenses.

The 6, 8 and 9.5 mm Ultra 16 lenses, however, have a revolutionary small form factor. This is made possible through a large diameter aspherical surface on the front and a radically shaped spherical surface with a very strong curvature on the inside.
