Zeiss Compact Prime CP.3 21/T2.9
Digital technologies have transformed traditional filmmaking and refashioned the market. New and innovative technologies in both production and post-production have paved the way for a more versatile, cost effective and advanced workflow. The ZEISS CP.3 family is the latest contribution from ZEISS to support creative and progressive filmmaking with an affordable, future-proof and premium quality lens set.
True cine look
Clean and crisp ZEISS look which matches perfectly with other ZEISS cinema lenses
Color matching and covering full frame across the full range of focal lengths from 15 to 135 mm
Special lens coatings support high-dynamic range projects
Ultimate cine ergonomics
Standardized positioning of the focus rings and a consistent 95 mm front diameter allows for fast and easy changeover while on set
Extraordinarily smooth focus rotation even in extreme temperature conditions thanks to a new, sophisticated construction design
Consistent T-stops simplify lighting on set and exposure compensations (T2.9 for 15 to 21 mm and T2.1 for 25 to 135 mm)
Compact design for the new digital workflow
The compact and light-weight design is ideal for handheld, gimbal, drone and Steadicam applications
Consistent size and weight across most of the focal lengths enables quick change of lenses when used on drones and gimbals
The ultra-smooth focus rotation allows use of small focus motors
Mastering the digital cinema workflow
The ZEISS eXtended Data is a unique technology that provides information about the lens’ distortion and shading characteristics in real-time
The lens settings are digitally captured on every frame, avoiding the need to manually record the lens settings for every shot
Documentation of the lens’ characteristics enhances creativity by allowing more complex shots to be handled in post-production
