[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]New Full Frame CP.3 Lenses from ZEISS ::
\n2017 is fondly called as the Year of the Lens , among international cinematographers and independent filmmakers.
\nLot of new full frame cine lenses have been launched.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1302″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In 2009, ZEISS introduced the full frame CP2 ( Compact Prime 2 )lenses and they have been the most successful product in cinema lens history , in terms of the no. units which have been sold.
\nThey hit the market at the turn of the digital cinema revolution and brought in a new era of affordable, quality cinema lenses ( for HDSLR shooters and independent filmmakers ). Their strength was high
\nperformance optics at affordable prices.
\nThey were very unique , at that time , in the sense , they were one of the first Full Frame Cine lenses ( except the wide 18 mm ). And the choice of mounts ( Arri PL , Canon EF , Nikon F , Sony E and MFT )
\nwas truly liberating . For the independent filmmakers\/ cinematographers who were shooting in full frame HDSLRs ,it gave, a greater professional control and far superior quality of images.<\/p>\n
The CP.2 lenses created a market that didn\u2019t even exist before them.Their \u2018playground\u2019 was the growing number of cine cameras that were getting smaller: RED, Blackmagic, Canon, Sony, Panasonic and ARRI Alexa Mini.
\nAnd now , with the sensor size of cine cameras , veering towards Full Frame , they are all the more relevant.<\/p>\n
At ZEISS , they thought what they could do to improve their CP.2 lenses ? The 18mm did not cover Full Frame. There were 4 differentbody lengths and 3 different maximum apertures in the CP.2 set.<\/p>\n
The focus was stiff. The 114 mm front diameter was large. They wanted to make the Compact Primes smaller\u2014the size of Ultra Primes, with a more modern optical design, newer coatings, and still cover Full Frame (which the Ultra Primes do not)?\u201d It began several years ago.
\nThey finally came out with the CP.3 and CP.3 xD range of Compact Prime Lenses . These lenses are being launched this year , in thefollowing focal lengths :
\n15 mm , 18mm , 21 mm \u2013 T2.9
\n25 mm , 28 mm , 35 mm, 50 mm, 85 mm , 100 mm , 135 mm \u2013 T 2.1<\/p>\n
It covers : Full Frame \/ RED Vista Vision 8K
\nMounts : PL , EF , F , E & MFT
\nFull Frame : All the CP.3 primes, from 15mm to 135 mm, cover Full Frame format\u201424\u00d736 mm (43.4 mm image diagonal). That provides future-proof coverage from Full Frame and even RED vista vision 8K \u00a0in focal lengths that are useful and familiar in both formats.<\/p>\n
Smaller Size : The entire set of 10 CP.3 primes have a front diameter of 95 mm. Cameras have become smaller and lighter. Meanwhile, expanded focus scales aren\u2019t as important as they were 7 years ago.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1307″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]That\u2019s because many, if not most, focus pullers are using wireless controls that can expand focus scales electronically on the hand unit. So, the large 114 mm front diameters of ZEISS CP.2s that enabled
\neasier mechanical follow focus are less compelling than the need for smaller, lighter, more compact primes. CP.3 lenses are about the size of current Ultra Primes\u2014but they cover Full Frame.<\/p>\n
Interchangeable Lens Mounts : ZEISS introduced the CP.3 series\u2014lighter, smaller, refined, data-enabled, and also with lens mounts you can easily interchange during prep or on location in just a few minutes. Even the lens cap has been redesigned.
\nSmoother Focus : Another major reason to like the ZEISS CP.3 lens set is the new mechanical design of the focus mechanism. It is much smoother and gentler to the touch than earlier helical threaded focus barrels. Much less torque is required, so one can use smaller, \u00a0lighter lens motors.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s new? : The CP.3 takes a slightly different approach to cinema lenses than other manufacturers. In their CP.3 xD range they\u2019re including Cooke\u2019s \/i protocol which allows for recording of vital metadata such as lens focal length, focus distance, t-stop, etc. \u2013 but go a step further and include their own embedded profiles for finer details such as illumination falloff, distortion, and more. This not only allows the user to record and compensate in post\u2026 But also tweak to their liking. Without baking a \u201clook\u201d into the glass, this new approach which Zeiss is calling their xD (eXtended Data) allows the user more control of their lenses throughout the creative process.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1304″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]With a wide range of focal lengths, full-frame coverage, fantastic image quality, new AR coatings , great flare suppression and precise focusing through the large rotation angle, CP.3 lenses give you a flexible set of tools to make your film shine . And its value for money ,at the price range. With Full Frame sensors , slowly becoming the
\ncapturing format in cine cameras, launch of these lenses makes more sense.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n
