Signature Zeiss Look
Zeiss lenses are known for their clean and crisp image rendering. The CP.3 series of lenses is no different. This CP.3 lens will accurately color-match to other Zeiss cinema lenses inside and out of the CP.3 range. The CP.3 lenses feature improved lens coatings and anti-reflection masking over the CP.2 range for increased contrast and reduced flare, important for capturing content with the intent of an HDR-format release.
Say hello to higher contrasts, richer blacks and more saturated colors. Say goodbye to unwelcome veiling glare and flares, thanks to advanced coatings, painted lens rims and light traps within the barrel.
New Ergonomic Design
For enhanced ergonomics over the previous-generation CP.2 lenses, the CP.3 lens barrel has been reshaped to be more similar to the renowned Zeiss Ultra Prime lenses. This new shape is easier to handle, and takes up less physical space than the original Compact Prime design. An even weight distribution ensures that these lenses will be at home handheld, locked down on a tripod, or flown on a Steadicam or motorized gimbal.
Compact lenses are key when shooting in unusual or small spaces. The compact and lightweight design of the CP.3 lenses enables you to work in the most efficient way possible, no matter how challenging the set.
CP.3s won’t let you down when shooting handheld, with a gimbal, drone or Steadicam. Due to their consistent size and front diameter across all focal lengths, quick lens changes when used on different stabilizing systems are a breeze. In addition, as a result of their ultra-smooth focus rotation, small focus motors suffice to operate.
