Advanced ZEISS Optical Performance

The CP.3 15mm T2.9 features advanced ZEISS optics engineered to deliver exceptional sharpness, high contrast, and accurate color reproduction across the entire image frame. Its optical design minimizes distortion while maintaining outstanding edge-to-edge clarity for both full-frame and Super 35 image sensors.

ZEISS cinematic rendering provides natural skin tones, smooth focus transitions, and refined image characteristics that support professional visual storytelling and high-end cinematic aesthetics.

T2.9 Aperture for Cinematic Imaging

The T2.9 maximum aperture supports reliable low-light cinematography while enabling controlled depth of field for creative cinematic compositions. Cinematographers can capture immersive ultra-wide scenes with balanced perspective rendering and smooth focus falloff.

The 15mm focal length is highly effective for environmental storytelling, dramatic perspective shots, confined interior scenes, and dynamic moving-camera sequences requiring expansive visual coverage.

Compact and Lightweight Cinema Construction

Designed with a compact and lightweight form factor, the CP.3 15mm integrates efficiently with handheld rigs, shoulder-mounted systems, motorized gimbals, and drone platforms. Its lightweight construction improves portability and camera balance for modern mobile production workflows.

The durable professional-grade housing is engineered to withstand demanding studio and on-location production environments while maintaining dependable operational performance.

Precision Focus Mechanics and Workflow Efficiency

The lens features smooth 300° focus rotation for highly accurate manual focus adjustments during professional cinema production. The metered focus scale improves repeatability and precision for focus pullers operating in controlled filmmaking environments.

Standardized focus and iris gear positioning across the CP.3 series allows rapid lens changes without repositioning follow-focus systems or lens motors, improving efficiency and workflow consistency during production.

Flexible Mount Compatibility and Future-Ready Coverage

Equipped with a professional PL mount, the lens integrates seamlessly with industry-standard cinema camera systems. ZEISS interchangeable mount technology additionally supports compatibility with EF, E-mount, and other professional mount standards.

Full-frame image coverage ensures compatibility with modern large-format cinema cameras and evolving production technologies, making the CP.3 series a future-ready solution for professional filmmaking.
