About Zeiss CP.3

Make your cinematic vision a reality with the Zeiss CP.3 85mm T2.1 Compact Prime Cine Lens for Sony E-mount, a professional-grade tool designed for the discerning filmmaker and videographer. This high-quality lens is a testament to Zeiss's commitment to innovation, offering unparalleled image quality and reliable usability in a durable and compact form factor.

Crafted for full-frame coverage, the CP.3 85mm lens ensures that your images are captured with edge-to-edge sharpness and clarity, without the worry of vignetting. The wide-angle 85mm focal length is ideal for achieving a broad field of view, while the fast T2.1 maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions and provides a shallow depth of field for that sought-after cinematic look.

The lens's advanced coatings and meticulously designed light traps work in concert to suppress veiling glare and lens flares, resulting in higher contrast, deeper blacks, and more vibrant colors. This makes the CP.3 85mm lens ready for high dynamic range (HDR) projects, capturing the subtle nuances between the darkest and brightest areas of your scene.

Ergonomically designed, the CP.3 series offers standardized focus ring positioning and a consistent 95mm front diameter, facilitating quick and seamless equipment changes on set. The focus rotation is extraordinarily smooth, maintaining performance even in extreme temperatures, which is crucial for professional productions.

The compact and lightweight design of the CP.3 85mm lens is perfect for a variety of stabilizing systems, allowing for dynamic shooting in tight spaces or when using handheld, gimbal, drone, and Steadicam setups. The consistent size and weight across the CP.3 series enable rapid lens swaps when working with drones and gimbals, keeping your shoot efficient and flexible.

Zeiss's innovative eXtended Data technology is a standout feature, providing real-time information about the lens' distortion and shading characteristics. This digital capture of lens settings on every frame eliminates the need for manual recording, enhancing post-production workflows and creative possibilities.

The interchangeable mount system of the CP.3 lenses is a future-proof solution that offers versatility across a range of camera bodies. With the ability to switch between PL, EF, E, F, and MFT mounts, the CP.3 85mm lens ensures compatibility with a wide array of professional cine cameras, maximizing your investment.

In summary, the Zeiss CP.3 85mm T2.1 Compact Prime Cine Lens for Sony E-mount is a professional, high-quality, and innovative choice for filmmakers and videographers looking to capture stunning visuals with ease and precision. Its reliable performance, durable construction, and advanced optical design make it a standout option in the world of cinema lenses.
