Highlights of the Zeiss CP.3 135mm T2.1 (PL, metric)

Genuine cinema look

From 15 mm to 135 mm, the ten focal lengths available in the ZEISS Compact Prime CP.3 or CP.3 XD series cover all applications from wide angle to telephoto. ZEISS CP.3 lenses feature advanced lens coatings, painted lens rims and special light traps in the barrel to eliminate reflective glare. The result is higher contrast, richer blacks and more saturated colors.

• Matches the color and covers the entire frame over the entire focal length range from 15 to 135 mm.

• Special lens coatings support high-dynamic performance.
