Zeiss CP.3 100mm T2.1 (PL, imperial) - Prime Cinema Lens

Introducing the Zeiss CP.3 100mm T2.1

Zeiss CP.3 100mm T2.1 Compact Prime offers the same full sensor coverage and classic Zeiss look in an updated form factor and with improved lens mechanics and coatings. This 100mm Compact Prime lens is derived from the same classic optical formula as the previous CP.2 variant and shares the same physical length as the 135mm CP13 lens, while retaining the same focus and aperture with all CP.3 lenses, relative to the mount. All CP.3 lenses share the same 95mm front diameter. Similar physical attributes across the lens line make lens-fitting accessories such as matte boxes, tracking foci, lens mounts, and lens drive motors easier and less time-consuming.

Interchangeable mounts are another feature of previous CP.2 lenses. This lens comes with a PL mount installed. Although, if you wish to adapt your CP.3 lens to another camera, the lens mount can be exchanged by the user for a different mount available separately. If you like the bokeh in your images to be round, even after you've stopped down, you'll be pleased to know that the 14-blade iris, made famous by CP.2 lenses, has been retained.

Signature Zeiss Look

Zeiss lenses are renowned for their sharp, precise image rendering. The CP.3 lens series is no different. This CP.3 lens fits perfectly with the other Zeiss cinema lenses inside and outside the CP.3 range. The CP.3 lenses feature improved lens coatings and anti-reflective masking over the CP.2 range for increased contrast and reduced glare, which is important when capturing content with the intention of an HDR format version.

New ergonomic design

For improved ergonomics over previous-generation CP.2 lenses, the CP.3 lens barrel has been redesigned to look more like the famous Zeiss Ultra Prime lenses. This new shape is easier to handle and takes up less physical space than the original Compact Prime design. Uniform weight distribution ensures that these lenses will be at home locked to a tripod, or flown on a Steadicam or motorized gimbal.
