The CP.3 28mm T2.1 lens is a testament to Zeiss's commitment to quality, offering a perfect blend of superior image quality and reliable usability. It features the clean, crisp characteristics that Zeiss lenses are renowned for, along with an interchangeable mount system and full-frame coverage.

With a focal length range from 15mm to 135mm, the Zeiss Compact Prime CP.3 lenses cover all applications from wide-angle to telephoto. They feature advanced lens coatings, painted lens rims, and special light traps within the barrel to eliminate unwelcome veiling glare and flares. The result is higher contrast, richer blacks, and more saturated colors.

The CP.3 lenses are designed with ultimate cine ergonomics in mind. They are easy to handle, allow for fast equipment changeover, and provide great creative freedom. The standardized positioning of the focus rings and a consistent 95mm front diameter allows for fast and easy changeover while on set. The lenses also offer extraordinarily smooth focus rotation, even in extreme temperature conditions.

The compact and lightweight design of the CP.3 lenses makes them ideal for use with different stabilizing systems and for compact camera setups. This is particularly beneficial for shooting in narrow spaces and capturing dynamic shots. The consistent size and weight across most of the focal lengths enable quick lens changes when used on drones and gimbals.

The Zeiss CP.3 lenses are equipped with the unique Zeiss extended Data technology that provides real-time information about the lens' distortion and shading characteristics. This feature digitally captures the lens settings on every frame, eliminating the need to manually record the lens settings for every shot.

The CP.3 lenses are also ready for High Dynamic Range (HDR) projects. They feature advanced lens coatings, painted lens rims, and special light traps within the barrel to eliminate unwelcome veiling glare and flares. This results in higher contrast, richer blacks, and more saturated colors, enabling shooting in HDR modes.

The Zeiss CP.3 lenses are equipped with an easy-to-operate, interchangeable mount system. This feature offers tremendous flexibility and future-proof investment in today's rapidly changing camera market. The CP.3 lenses offer full-frame coverage (24mm x 36mm) for all focal lengths from 15mm to 135mm, ensuring no vignetting. The robust, cine-style housing, 300-degree focus rotation angle, calibrated focus scales, and a circular 14-blade aperture all contribute to a cinematic look and natural-looking out-of-focus highlights.
