About Zeiss CP.3 XD

The ZEISS CP.3 XD 28mm T2.1 Compact Prime Cine Lens for PL Mount is a high-quality, professional-grade lens designed for the discerning filmmaker and photographer seeking unparalleled image quality and innovative technology. This durable and versatile lens is renowned for its crisp, clean image rendition that ZEISS optics are celebrated for, ensuring that every shot captures the essence of the scene with clarity and precision.

Crafted with a wide-angle 28mm focal length, the ZEISS CP.3 XD lens excels in capturing expansive landscapes, intricate architectural details, and spacious interior shots, providing a broad field of view that brings your cinematic vision to life. The fast T2.1 maximum aperture is a boon for creatives, offering the ability to achieve a shallow depth of field for that sought-after bokeh effect, which is ideal for isolating subjects and adding an artistic touch to portraits and other focal points.

The lens's full-frame coverage and interchangeable mount system underscore its adaptability, making it compatible with a wide array of cameras and mount types, more so than any other cine lens currently available. This ensures that the ZEISS CP.3 XD lens is a future-proof investment for professionals who demand flexibility and compatibility with various camera systems.

Incorporating the groundbreaking ZEISS eXtended Data technology, this lens simplifies and accelerates both on-set workflow and post-production processes. By unifying key lens data with the open /i Technology standard and ZEISS-specific lens characteristics, the CP.3 XD lens provides a comprehensive data set that enhances creative control and efficiency.

On set, ZEISS eXtended Data enables real-time monitoring of lens settings, pre-visualization of image modifications, and introduces automated search functions for data wrangling. In post-production, the benefits are manifold, including refined image fine-tuning, streamlined editing and color grading, and advanced capabilities for visual effects, virtual/augmented reality, multi-camera live productions, and 3-D imaging.

The ZEISS CP.3 XD lens offers an end-to-end solution for capturing and utilizing data for both on-set application and post-production. Real-time processing and frame-accurate recording of ZEISS eXtended Data ensure seamless integration into the production workflow. Data transfer is facilitated either through an external LEMO interface to any supported equipment or directly to cameras compatible with the open /i Technology standard via a 4-pin interface (PL-mount).

With the additional ZEISS plug-in, integration with leading compositing and editing software tools is effortless, allowing for the lens' characteristics to be precisely applied or removed from footage as required. This level of control and versatility makes the ZEISS CP.3 XD 28mm T2.1 Compact Prime Cine Lens an indispensable tool for professionals seeking to elevate their craft and produce exceptional visual content.
