About Zeiss CP.3 XD

With the ZEISS CP.3 XD 50mm T2.1 Compact Prime Cine Lens for PL Mount, you can experience the epitome of high-quality, professional photography and videography. This lens is renowned for its exceptional image quality and reliable usability, embodying the clean, crisp characteristics that ZEISS, a respected brand in the photography industry, is known for.

Designed for full-frame and Vistavision cameras, this versatile lens offers an interchangeable mount system, providing compatibility with a wider range of cameras and mount types than any other cine lens on the market. Its fast aperture of T2.1 allows for greater control over depth of field and the ability to shoot in low light conditions, making it an ideal choice for high-end film and photography projects.

The ZEISS CP.3 XD lens features innovative eXtended Data technology, a groundbreaking lens data system designed to streamline and simplify the workflow on set and in post-production. This technology unifies two data sets: key lens data based on the open /i Technology standard, and ZEISS specific lens data that contains precise lens characteristics.

On set, the eXtended Data feature enables real-time monitoring of lens settings, pre-visualization of modified images, and the use of new, automated search functions within data wrangling. In post-production, it offers numerous benefits such as 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 onset application and in post-production. The data is processed in real-time and recorded frame accurately, and 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, providing a seamless and efficient production process. Experience the difference with the ZEISS CP.3 XD 50mm T2.1 Compact Prime Cine Lens for PL Mount, a reliable, durable, and versatile choice for professional photographers and videographers.
