Zeiss has unveiled Aatma Prime T1.5 cine lenses, available in nine focal lengths with styles that evoke classic lenses like the Planar, Sonnar, and Distagon sets.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — B&H is eager to share that Zeiss is paying tribute to some of their most popular legacy offerings with the new Aatma Prime T1.5 cine lenses. The nine focal lengths in the set draw inspiration from classic Planar, Distagon, and Sonnar photo lenses, balancing technical precision and character-rich rendering. Large format coverage and Zeiss eXtended Data compatibility means the Aatma lenses can also keep up with the demands of modern productions.

Focal length options include 18mm, 25mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, 65mm, 85mm, 100mm, and 135mm, and each lens features an impressive T1.5 maximum aperture. The lenses weigh between 2.69 and 5 lb, and range in length from 4.7″ to 6.4″. Close focus goes as low as 10″ with the 25mm, then up to 4’6″ with the 135mm. Each lens has a 95mm front diameter, save for the 18mm and 135mm lenses, both of which have a 114mm front diameter. Markings are available in feet or meters, and the lenses are only being sold individually for now.

ZEISS Aatma Prime T1.5 Cine Lenses

Product Highlights:

  • Large Format | T1.5 Maximum Aperture
  • Soft Skin Textures, Reduced Contrast
  • 0.8 MOD Focus and Iris Gears
  • ZEISS eXtended Data Technology
  • CinCraft Tracking Integration
  • Smooth, Vibrant Focus Transitions
  • Clean Geometry for VFX Capture
  • Enlarged Depth of Field, Veiled Glare
  • Distinct Bokeh, Soap Bubble Effect

Zeiss describes the resulting image style as “expressive and characterful,” with “softly painted skin texture” and slightly reduced contrast. There’s a soft veiling glare around highlights, and the Zeiss T* coating should cut down on any excess flaring. Bokeh has a subtle soap bubble effect, and focus transitions should appear “smooth and vibrant.” Zeiss also promises extremely minimal distortion, focus breathing, and chromatic aberration, making the lenses suitable for VFX-heavy work.

Overall, the Aatma cine lenses aim to evoke nostalgia and warmth while still being clean and consistent enough to slot in alongside other modern glass. The lenses will also fully integrate into the Zeiss CinCraft camera tracking ecosystem, and the inspiration for each lens is printed across its front ring for easy reference.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
