CP.3 25mm T2.1 Compact Prime Lens

The ZEISS CP.3 25mm T2.1 Compact Prime Lens is a professional cinema lens designed for feature films, commercial production, documentaries, and high-end digital cinematography. Combining advanced ZEISS optical engineering with compact construction, the lens delivers cinematic image quality, precise mechanical performance, and reliable operation for demanding production environments.

Part of the acclaimed CP.3 cinema lens series, the 25mm focal length offers a versatile wide-angle perspective suitable for narrative filmmaking, environmental portraits, interior scenes, and dynamic handheld shooting applications.

Advanced ZEISS Optical Performance

The CP.3 25mm T2.1 features advanced ZEISS optics engineered to provide exceptional sharpness, high contrast, and accurate color reproduction across the entire frame. Its optical design minimizes distortion while maintaining excellent edge-to-edge clarity for both full-frame and Super 35 image sensors.

The lens delivers the signature ZEISS cinematic rendering with natural skin tones, smooth focus transitions, and refined bokeh characteristics that enhance professional visual storytelling.

Fast T2.1 Aperture for Cinematic Imaging

The fast T2.1 aperture enables effective low-light performance and precise control over depth of field. Cinematographers can create cinematic subject separation while maintaining consistent image quality in controlled studio setups and challenging lighting conditions.

The 25mm focal length provides a balanced field of view ideal for immersive wide-angle compositions, establishing shots, interviews, and handheld camera movement without excessive image distortion.

Compact and Lightweight Cinema Design

The compact and lightweight form factor allows efficient integration with handheld rigs, motorized gimbals, drones, and shoulder-mounted production systems. Its reduced size improves portability and camera balance while preserving professional optical performance.

Built for modern cinema workflows, the lens supports mobile production setups without compromising structural durability or operational precision.

Professional Focus Mechanics and Workflow Efficiency

The lens features a smooth 300° focus rotation for highly accurate manual focus control during cinematic production. The metered focus scale improves repeatability and precision for focus pullers operating in professional film environments.

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

Flexible Mount Compatibility and Full-Frame Coverage

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

Full-frame sensor coverage ensures compatibility with modern large-format cinema cameras and future imaging technologies, making the CP.3 series a long-term investment for evolving production requirements.
