About Zeiss CP.3 XD
Be at the forefront of cinematic excellence with the ZEISS CP.3 XD 21mm T2.9 Compact Prime Cine Lens for PL Mount. This lens is a testament to ZEISS's commitment to high-quality imaging and user-friendly design. It showcases the sharp, clear image quality that ZEISS is renowned for, coupled with a versatile interchangeable mount system and full-frame coverage. The CP.3 lenses set themselves apart by offering compatibility with a broader range of cameras and mount types than any other cine lens available today.
The ZEISS CP.3 XD version takes lens technology to the next level with its innovative ZEISS eXtended Data feature. This ground-breaking technology accelerates and simplifies workflows on set and during post-production. It combines two essential data sets: key lens data based on the open /i Technology standard, supported by an extensive range of cameras and accessories, and ZEISS specific lens data that provides detailed lens characteristics.
Experience efficiency like never before with the ZEISS CP.3 XD lenses. On set, the ZEISS eXtended Data feature allows crew members to monitor lens settings in real-time, preview modified images, and utilize new automated search functions within data wrangling. In post-production, the benefits of ZEISS eXtended Data 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 lens is more than just a lens; it's an end-to-end solution for recording and feeding data for on-set application and 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). The additional ZEISS plug-in for leading compositing and editing software tools allows for easy implementation of ZEISS eXtended Data, enabling the lens' characteristics to be removed and/or reapplied to the footage.
In summary, the ZEISS CP.3 XD 21mm T2.9 Compact Prime Cine Lens for PL Mount is a game-changer for filmmakers, offering unparalleled image quality, versatility, and data management.
