ARRI APO Close-Focus Triassic Prime Du 25mm
The apochromatic design across all five focal lengths, from 25mm to 120mm, suppresses chromatic aberration for clean full-frame images at a constant T2.8 aperture. Consistent 80mm front diameters, 72mm filter threads, and 0.8 MOD cine gears across the set enable rapid lens changes without rig adjustments. This kit is best for cinematographers shooting macro and tabletop work who need a lightweight, close-focusing prime set with uniform handling.
