Our editorial take on the ARRI ARRICAM 16mm T1.9 LDS Ultra Prime Lens with PL-Mount (Feet Scale) K2.52124.0

The ARRI 16mm T1.9 LDS Ultra Prime is a wide-angle cine lens designed for professional film and high-end digital production. Part of ARRI's respected Ultra Prime series, it features a PL mount, LDS (Lens Data System) for metadata recording, and a fast T1.9 aperture that performs well in low light and offers shallow depth of field control. The feet-scale focus markings cater to North American camera assistants and crews accustomed to imperial measurements.

At just over $5,200 used in excellent condition, this lens sits in the premium tier of cinema glass. The Ultra Prime line is known for consistent color rendition and build quality across focal lengths, making it a reliable choice for multi-camera setups or documentary work where lens matching matters. The 16mm focal length provides a moderately wide field of view on Super 35 sensors, useful for establishing shots, interiors, and handheld work without excessive distortion.

Best for: Professional cinematographers and rental houses working on narrative or commercial projects who need a reliable wide-angle cine lens with LDS compatibility.
