Introducing the Zeiss CP.3 100mm T2.1

The Zeiss CP.3 100mm T2.1 lenses offer the perfect combination of high image quality and reliable performance. They feature the clean, crisp characteristics for which ZEISS is renowned, along with an interchangeable mounting system and full-frame coverage. The ZEISS CP.3 XD version incorporates innovative data technology to accelerate and simplify workflows throughout the entire workflow and post-production process.

ZEISS eXtended Data is a unique technology based on /i Technology that provides real-time information on the lens’s distortion and shading characteristics. With ZEISS CP.3 XD lenses, even small, low-budget productions have access to advanced techniques commonly used in state-of-the-art film, commercial, and television productions.

Highlights of the Zeiss CP.3 100mm T2.1

A true cinematic experience

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 reflected glare. The result is higher contrast, richer blacks, and more saturated colors.

• A clean and crisp ZEISS look that perfectly matches other ZEISS cinema lenses.
• Matches the color and covers the entire frame across the entire focal length range from 15 to 135 mm.
• Special lens coatings support high dynamic range applications.

New ZEISS eXtended Data technology

ZEISS eXtended Data technology adds new opportunities to simplify and increase the accuracy of image production and processing workflows. ZEISS eXtended Data unifies two sets of data: main lens data based on the Open/i Technology standard and supported by a wide range of cameras and accessories, and ZEISS-specific lens data containing precise lens characteristics.

• A unique technology that provides real-time information on the lens’s distortion and shading characteristics to accelerate the workflow on set and in post-production
• The lens settings are captured digitally on each image, thus avoiding the need to manually record the lens settings for each shot
• Documenting lens characteristics enhances creativity by enabling the development of more complex designs after production

The ultimate ergonomics of cinema

The ZEISS CP.3 lenses are a professional tool set that simplifies your workflow. They are easy to handle, allow for quick equipment transitions, and give you great creative freedom to bring your ideas to life.

• The standardized positioning of the focusing rings and a constant front diameter of 95 mm allow for quick and easy tilting during adjustment.
• Extraordinarily uniform focusing rotation even in extreme temperature conditions thanks to a sophisticated new construction design.
• Consistent T stops simplify lighting on setpoint and exposure compensations (T2.9 for 15 to 21 mm and T2.1 for 25 to 135 mm).

A redefined compactness

The compact and lightweight design allows you to use different stabilization systems and have a compact camera setup ideal for shooting in tight spaces and capturing dynamic photos.

• The compact and lightweight design is ideal for handheld applications, gimbals, drones and Steadicams.
• Consistent size and weight across most focal lengths allow for quick lens changes when used on drones and stabilizers.
• The ultra-smooth focusing rotation allows the use of a small focusing motor.
