Advanced Optical Engineering
The optical design of the Aureus Prime lenses is meticulously crafted to minimize chromatic aberration and distortion, delivering ultra-low dispersion performance that preserves true-to-life colors and crisp detail. Advanced coatings reduce ghosting and flares while maintaining high contrast and deep, rich blacks. Even when shooting wide open at T1.4, these lenses exhibit minimal optical imperfections, ensuring filmmakers can achieve a clean and professional image in any lighting scenario.

Virtually Zero Focus Breathing and High Resolution
One of the standout features of the Aureus Prime series is its virtually zero focus breathing, which allows for smooth focus transitions without unwanted shifts in composition.
