ARRI APSARA PRESTIGE APSARA PRESTIGE 24 24mm
The 1.5x macro magnification and 229mm minimum focus distance set this lens apart, enabling extreme close-ups with full-frame coverage at T2.0. Its 13-blade diaphragm and 15-element optical design produce painterly bokeh with a subtle vintage character, while the 270° focus rotation offers precise control. This lens is best for cinematographers shooting detailed product, food, or nature macro work who need a distinct, character-driven look.
