Zeiss Compact Prime CP.3 18mm/T2.9

Zeiss Compact Prime CP.3 18/T2.9

The Zeiss Compact Prime CP.3 lenses are equipped with an easy-to-operate, interchangeable mount system. It enables a quick change from the typical cine-style PL-mount to four other mount options (Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E or MFT). This proven feature offers tremendous flexibility and future-proof investment in today’s rapidly changing camera market. There are two versions of the PL-mount, one equipped with an electronic interface for recording lens data on the ZEISS CP.3 XD lenses via the internal camera interface and the other without the electronic interface for the standard ZEISS CP.3 lenses.

ZEISS Compact Prime CP.3 lenses feature exquisite, high performing optics in a robust and durable package – two characteristics that will remain desirable for decades to come. Thanks to the interchangeable lens mounts, the Compact Prime CP.3 and CP.3 XD lenses offer the possibility to upgrade to any number of existing or future cine cameras without investing in a new set of lenses. They all cover a full-frame image format without vignetting.

Wide range of coverage, regardless of the format

Ranging 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. The graphic shows the horizontal angle of view between each of the focal lengths.

Adding greater depth to your images

The ZEISS CP.3 lenses feature advanced lens coatings, painted lens rims and special light traps within the barrel to eliminate unwelcome veiling glare and flares. The result is higher contrast, richer blacks and more saturated colors, enabling shooting in High Dynamic Range (HDR) modes with subtly nuanced differences in deep shadows and bright highlights in the same scene. With the ZEISS CP.3 lenses, there is a greater depth to the images than ever before.
