Benefiting from Improved Ergonomics & Portability
Compared to the CP.2s, the CP.3s are generally more compact and lighter, making them more suitable for handheld, gimbal, and drone applications. This enhanced portability offers greater flexibility for agile camera movements.

Streamlined Accessory Workflow
The uniform 95mm front diameter across most lenses in the set simplifies matte box and filter changes on set, saving valuable production time. This consistency is a small but significant detail for efficient shooting.

Enhanced Flare Suppression for Cleaner Images
Features improved optical coatings that reduce unwanted flare and ghosting, resulting in cleaner images, especially when shooting into direct light sources. This provides greater control over your image integrity.

Precise & Smooth Mechanics
The focus and iris rings offer a very smooth and precise feel, catering to exacting cinematic demands for repeatable pulls. This tactile quality is essential for critical focus work.

Maintaining Classic Zeiss Colour & Contrast
This set maintains the renowned “Zeiss look” with neutral colour rendition, high contrast, and excellent resolution. You can expect crisp, natural, and highly detailed images.

Exceptional Versatility with Interchangeable Mount System
Like the CP.2s, the CP.3s offer an interchangeable mount system (e.g., PL, EF), providing flexibility for various camera bodies. This ensures your lens set can adapt to evolving camera technology.
