About Zeiss CP.3 XD

For filmmakers and cinematographers seeking superior image quality and reliable usability, the ZEISS CP.3 XD 135mm T2.1 Compact Prime Cine Lens for PL Mount is an exceptional choice. This lens embodies the renowned ZEISS quality, delivering clean, crisp visuals that the brand is globally recognized for.

The CP.3 XD 135mm T2.1 lens boasts a versatile interchangeable mount system and full-frame coverage, making it compatible with a broad spectrum of cameras and mount types. This compatibility surpasses any other cine lens available in the market, making it a highly adaptable tool for diverse filming requirements.

One of the standout features of this ZEISS CP.3 XD lens is the innovative ZEISS eXtended Data technology. This ground-breaking lens data technology streamlines the workflow both on set and in post-production. It integrates two data sets: key lens data based on the open /i Technology standard, which is supported by a multitude of cameras and accessories, and ZEISS specific lens data that provides precise lens characteristics.

The ZEISS eXtended Data feature enhances efficiency throughout the entire production process. On set, it allows crew members to monitor lens settings in real-time, pre-visualize modified images, and utilize new, automated search functions within data wrangling. In post-production, the benefits extend to image fine-tuning, editing, color grading, visual effects, virtual and augmented reality, multi-cam live productions, projection, and 3-D imaging.

The ZEISS CP.3 XD 135mm T2.1 lens provides an end-to-end solution for recording and feeding data for onset application and in post-production. The ZEISS eXtended Data is processed in real-time and recorded frame accurately. The data can be transferred either to any supported equipment via an external LEMO interface or directly to any camera compatible with the open /i Technology standard via a 4-pin interface (PL-mount).

Furthermore, the ZEISS plug-in, compatible with leading compositing and editing software tools, allows for easy implementation of ZEISS eXtended Data. This enables the lens' characteristics to be removed and/or reapplied to the footage, providing a seamless and efficient post-production process.

In conclusion, the ZEISS CP.3 XD 135mm T2.1 Compact Prime Cine Lens for PL Mount is a comprehensive solution for filmmakers and cinematographers, offering unparalleled image quality, versatility, and advanced data technology.
