The CP.3 28mm T2.1 lens offers high image quality with clean, crisp characteristics. It features advanced lens coatings, painted lens rims, and special light traps within the barrel to eliminate unwelcome veiling glare and flares.

How does the eXtended Data technology in the CP.3 28mm T2.1 lens support the digital cinema workflow?

The eXtended Data technology provides real-time information about the lens' distortion and shading characteristics. This feature digitally captures lens settings on every frame, eliminating the need to manually record these settings for each shot. This enhances creativity by allowing more complex shots to be handled in post-production.

The interchangeable mount system offers tremendous flexibility and future-proof investment in today's rapidly changing camera market.

Can the CP.3 28mm T2.1 lens be used for handheld and gimbal applications?

Yes, the CP.3 28mm T2.1 lens is compact and lightweight, making it ideal for handheld, gimbal, drone, and Steadicam applications. Its consistent size and weight across most of the focal lengths enable quick lens changes when used on drones and gimbals.

What gives the CP.3 28mm T2.1 lens a cinematic look?

The CP.3 28mm T2.1 lens features a circular 14-blade aperture, which provides a cinematic look and natural-looking out-of-focus highlights. This, combined with the clean, crisp imagery and true cine look that the lens offers, makes it perfect for creating professional-grade films and photos.
