>>144781 I don't doubt people have made really fast cine primes. Cine people need faster lenses (essentially, they have a fixed shutter speed), being on cameras that stand still they can be larger, and studios can afford much more expensive designs than still photographers... $100,000 for a lens that'll be used on several multi-million dollar productions grossing many more millions each is cheap. I know there's some 10-100 (I'm not sure about the long length) Arri zoom that would put most of our primes to shame when it comes to speed. I forget what it's exact t-stop is.
But I do know the Zeiss lens in question was designed for NASA to use on their Hasselblads on the moon. In other words, a limited production run for an agency with a huge budget for people to use in almost no gravity, so weight wasn't an issue.
