About Zeiss CP.3 XD
A cinematic masterpiece in lens form, the ZEISS CP.3 XD 25mm T2.1 Compact Prime Cine Lens is engineered to meet the exacting demands of filmmakers and cinematographers who require exceptional image quality coupled with user-friendly functionality. This lens is renowned for its pristine optics and is a testament to ZEISS's legacy of optical excellence, delivering sharp, clear images that ZEISS lenses are celebrated for. Its full-frame coverage ensures compatibility with a broad array of cameras, including those with larger sensors, while the interchangeable mount system allows for seamless integration with various camera bodies, making it one of the most versatile cine lenses available.
The ZEISS CP.3 XD model takes innovation to new heights with its eXtended Data technology, a pioneering advancement that streamlines both on-set workflow and post-production processes. This technology synergizes two pivotal data sets: the universally recognized /i Technology standard data and ZEISS-specific data, which details the unique characteristics of the lens. This dual dataset integration facilitates a more efficient production workflow, from shooting to final output.
On the production set, the ZEISS eXtended Data feature is a game-changer, offering real-time monitoring of lens settings, enabling image pre-visualization, and enhancing data wrangling with automated search functions. For post-production professionals, the benefits are manifold, including refined image tuning, seamless editing, sophisticated color grading, and the creation of visual effects. It also supports cutting-edge applications such as virtual and augmented reality, multi-camera live productions, and complex 3D imaging projects.
The ZEISS CP.3 XD lens is designed as a comprehensive solution that not only captures stunning visuals but also simplifies data management. The real-time processing of ZEISS eXtended Data ensures frame-accurate recording, with the flexibility to transfer data via an external LEMO interface or directly to cameras compatible with the /i Technology standard through a 4-pin PL-mount interface.
To facilitate the integration of ZEISS eXtended Data into existing workflows, ZEISS provides an additional plug-in compatible with leading post-production software. This allows for the lens' unique characteristics to be effortlessly applied or removed from footage, offering unprecedented control to filmmakers and post-production teams.
In summary, the ZEISS CP.3 XD 25mm T2.1 lens is not just a tool for capturing images; it's an integral component of a sophisticated filmmaking ecosystem, designed to deliver unparalleled image quality and to enhance the creative and technical possibilities of cinematic production.
