ZEISS Compact Prime CP.2 35mm T2.1 PL Mount Cine Lens
The ZEISS Compact Prime CP.2 35mm T2.1 is a Super 35 / Full-Frame compatible cine prime lens designed for consistent optical and mechanical performance across the CP.2 series. It delivers a neutral, clean image with controlled contrast, minimal distortion, and consistent color reproduction typical of ZEISS optics.
The lens features a manual focus system with a long, smooth focus throw, enabling precise focus pulls. Both focus and iris rings use standard 0.8-pitch cine gears, ensuring compatibility with professional follow-focus systems. The aperture is de-clicked for smooth exposure transitions during takes.
The optical design maintains low focus breathing, stable sharpness across the frame, and predictable falloff toward the edges. The T2.1 aperture allows effective low-light operation while retaining consistent resolution. The lens covers full-frame sensors and is commonly used on Super 35 cinema cameras without vignetting.
The housing follows a uniform cine form factor across CP.2 lenses, simplifying lens swaps without rebalancing rigs. The PL mount ensures secure mounting on professional cinema cameras and adapters.
