About Zeiss CP.3 XD

Let the ZEISS CP.3 XD 50mm T2.1 Compact Prime Cine Lens for PL Mount elevate your filmmaking experience with its exceptional image quality and versatile usability. This lens is renowned for its clean, crisp imaging, a trademark of ZEISS quality, and its interchangeable mount system, providing full-frame coverage. Its compatibility with a broad spectrum of cameras and mount types makes it one of the most adaptable cine lenses available today.

The CP.3 XD version is equipped with ZEISS's innovative eXtended Data technology, a ground-breaking lens data system designed to streamline both on-set and post-production workflows. This technology combines key lens data based on the open /i Technology standard, supported by a multitude of cameras and accessories, with ZEISS-specific lens data detailing precise lens characteristics.

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 of ZEISS eXtended Data extend to 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 lens provides an end-to-end solution for recording and feeding data for on-set application and in post-production. The eXtended Data is processed in real-time and recorded frame accurately. 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 allows for easy implementation of ZEISS eXtended Data in a number of leading software tools. This feature enables the removal and/or reapplication of the lens' characteristics to the footage, providing filmmakers with unparalleled control over their visual storytelling.
