The name Super Speeds was never used by Zeiss for their classic high speed primes at all. It was a name that fans of Zeiss’ primes lovingly assigned to separate them from Zeiss’ slower Standard Speed primes. The name refers to the maximum aperture of the lenses. Zeiss' slower line of primes was often referred to as Standard Speeds which featured a maximum aperture of T2.1. The Super Speeds have an impressively fast aperture of T1.3. The Mark III was the last version of Super Speeds made by Zeiss.
