Cinematographer Testimonials
Don’t just take our word for it
We shot the entire film with Nanos. They were that good. We have a scene against a mirror wall background, and I noticed that we got almost a Petzval effect with the bokeh in the background. They had a swirly spiral shape, which I love. I can never get enough of that. And then there were other interesting flares. We shot 97% of the film wide open at T1.5, which is a sweet spot that I thought looked great, stunning. That to me is the benchmark. I don’t want to use a lens that I can’t use wide open. I need that option.

One of the things that’s interesting about the NPs is the design. For a long time, manufacturers were trying so hard to make lenses perfect and eliminate veiling glare, and they took away all the flares, and lenses got boring. And now, ZEISS came out with the Nanos – which bring back some of those flares, which we used. They were flaring beautifully, but they were also sharp enough to render details.

The Nano Primes are a breath of fresh air. Their versatile look and build aesthetics is nothing short of the ZEISS legacy. A neat little package that matches incredibly well with high-end glass, yet by themselves, they are simply gorgeous, reliable and inspiring for filmmakers serious about investing in high quality cine lenses.

Nano Prime Product Film
The first thing I noticed was the blur. There was this incredible separation between sharp and out of focus areas. Their fall off isolates subjects in a unique way. Theses lenses lean towards storytelling, there’s mise-en-scene in the image. Their sharpness is pretty, yet very precise. There‘s a kind of softness, a roundness in the image that doesn‘t make it an aggressive lens at all.
