Jaimie Gramston (@jaimiegramston_dop ) shot ZEISS Nano Primes and Sony VENICE across the Philippines for "Michael Palin in the Philippines", a 3 x 60 min travel documentary series with Sir Michael Palin, commissioned by Channel 5.
Shooting almost entirely handheld, Jaimie described the combination as "A beautifully high-end look, barely distinguishable to my eye from the Supreme Primes, but in a much smaller, lighter lens, essential for considered, documentary handheld work and quick lens changes on a project of this nature. Colors looked great, skin tones lovely, and what was out of focus fell away beautifully. The resistance on the focus rings across the set was smooth, consistent and exactly right for me pulling my own focus. And crucially, their cost fits into most documentary budgets of this sort."
The program will air in September. Our thanks to @rsvpfilmstudios for their support on the ground in Manila.

Indonesian cinematographer Yunus Pasolang, ICS (@lumisu_pasolang ) on ZEISS Aatma: “Throughout my career, I shot most of my work on ZEISS lenses and the Super Speed MK III remain my personal favorites. Experiencing Aatma lenses feels like rediscovering the classic Super Speed soul, but refined to fit modern cinematography. Aatma doesn't simply replicate the Super Speed, it understands that legacy and rebuilds it with modern precision: selective aberration control, refined center-to-edge sharpness, and adaptive bokeh behavior.”

Congrats to Director Gloria Chee and DP Teck Siang Lim for wrapping their film "White Shadow (白色之影)”, shot on ZEISS Supreme Prime and Sony BURANO. A meditation on mortality, intimacy, and the fragile courage to love, White Shadow unfolds in the quiet spaces between life and loss.
Set among Singapore’s liminal urban landscapes, the film follows two souls confronting an approaching end, where denial slowly transforms into a deeper, boundless form of care. Told with a restrained, naturalistic gaze and a dreamlike visual palette, the film explores how the presence of death can illuminate the urgency of tenderness. In this suspended world of soft light and lingering shadows, love becomes not possession, but transcendence—brief, luminous, and profoundly human.
The film is completed and has now been submitted to various film festivals. Thank you, Gloria and Teck, for using Supremes, and we’re honoured to contribute to your imagery with fast T-stops and crisp focus under low light.

Indonesian 2nd AC @gladystjandraa on ZEISS Aatma: "The ZEISS Aatma flatters skin tones and reminds me of the classic Super Speeds that many cinematographers grew up with. Its soft rendering with consistent T1.5 aperture contributes to beautiful images, and the compact form factor and lightweight design are also big advantages for the camera department, including operators like myself".
