About Zeiss CP.3 XD
Be captivated by the exceptional quality of the ZEISS CP.3 XD 21mm T2.9 Compact Prime Cine Lens for PL Mount, Meter. This lens is renowned for its high image quality and reliable usability, making it a go-to choice for professionals in the field of photography and videography. It showcases the clean, crisp characteristics that ZEISS lenses are globally recognized for, along with an interchangeable mount system and full-frame coverage.
The CP.3 XD 21mm T2.9 lens stands out in the market with its compatibility with a vast range of cameras and mount types, making it one of the most versatile cine lenses available. It's not just about the hardware, though. This lens also features the innovative ZEISS eXtended Data technology, a ground-breaking lens data system designed to streamline and simplify your workflow both on set and in post-production.
ZEISS eXtended Data technology combines two data sets: key lens data based on the open /i Technology standard, supported by a wide array of cameras and accessories, and ZEISS specific lens data that provides precise lens characteristics. This technology brings efficiency to every stage of the production process.
On set, the ZEISS eXtended Data feature 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 are numerous, including image fine-tuning, editing and color grading, visual effects, virtual and augmented reality, multi-cam live productions, projection, and 3-D imaging.
The ZEISS CP.3 XD 21mm T2.9 lens provides an end-to-end solution for recording and feeding data for onset application and in post-production. 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).
With the additional ZEISS plug-in for leading compositing and editing software tools, the lens' characteristics can be removed and/or reapplied to the footage, offering unparalleled flexibility and control in post-production. Experience the difference with the ZEISS CP.3 XD 21mm T2.9 Compact Prime Cine Lens for PL Mount, Meter.
