About Zeiss CP.3

A revolution in the world of digital filmmaking, the Zeiss CP.3 85mm T2.1 Compact Prime Cine Lens for Sony E, Meter is designed to keep pace with the ever-evolving technology landscape. This high-performance cine lens is part of the latest Zeiss CP.3 family, offering an affordable, future-proof, and premium quality solution for creative and progressive filmmaking.

The Zeiss CP.3 lenses are renowned for their perfect blend of high image quality and reliable usability. They deliver the clean, crisp visuals Zeiss is globally recognized for, coupled with an interchangeable mount system and full-frame coverage. These lenses are compatible with a wider range of cameras and mount types than any other cine lens available, making them a versatile choice for filmmakers.

Featuring a range from 15mm to 135mm, the ten focal lengths available in the Zeiss Compact Prime CP.3 series cover all applications from wide-angle to telephoto. Advanced lens coatings, painted lens rims, and special light traps within the barrel work together to eliminate unwelcome veiling glare and flares, resulting in higher contrast, richer blacks, and more saturated colors.

The Zeiss CP.3 lenses are designed with ultimate cine ergonomics in mind, simplifying your work on set. Their standardized positioning of the focus rings and a consistent 95mm front diameter allow for fast and easy equipment changeover, giving you the creative freedom to bring your ideas to life. The compact and lightweight design of these lenses is ideal for handheld, gimbal, drone, and Steadicam applications.

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

The Zeiss CP.3 lenses are equipped with an interchangeable mount system, offering a future-proof solution in today's rapidly changing camera market. This feature allows a quick change from the typical cine-style PL-mount to four other mount options (Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, or MFT), offering maximum flexibility on set.

Zeiss Compact Prime CP.3 lenses feature high-performing optics in a robust and durable package. They cover a full-frame image format without vignetting, offering the possibility to upgrade to any number of existing or future cine cameras without the need to invest in a new set of lenses. With a common T2.9 aperture for the 15mm to 21mm focal lengths and T2.1 for the lenses ranging from 25mm to 135mm, these lenses provide a cinematic look and natural-looking out of focus highlights.
