overview

Moderne Superspeed lenzen in een compact, lichtgewicht behuizing. Deze lenzen zijn gebaseerd op de bekende Zeiss fotolenzen, maar zijn volledig aangepast voor het gebruik als Cine prime. Alle lenzen hebben dezelfde frontdiameter en ook de diafrgma en focus-ring zitten op dezelfde plek zodat lenswissels snel en eenvoudig kunnen worden gedaan; een followfocus of lensmotoren hoeven niet verplaatst te worden en de mattebox past bij alle lenzen.

These lenses are a super-speed addition to Zeiss's Compact Prime CP.2 family of cine primes. Like the rest of the family, they feature an interchangeable-mount system
The fast T1.5 does so well in low-light, night and non-bright outdoor environments, that it allows filmmakers to conveniently pursue more creative shots in low-light. The outstanding handling of low-light also serves to limit the need for artificial light and thus allows more mobile filmmaking and delivers more natural-looking scenes. The fast aperture additionally offers more creative possibilities when aiming at a cinematic shallow depth of field. 
The optics and mechanics are superior too. The lenses incorporate two aspheric lens elements and two special types of glass with abnormal partial dispersion that exceptionally corrects for chromatic aberration. Zeiss-famous T* anti-reflective coating along with internal light traps provide advanced flare suppression. Fourteen high-precision iris blades open up consistently circular across all T-stops, allowing impressive highlights in out-of-focus areas and producing smooth bokeh. 
The lens also offers follow-focus flexibility. Across the entire CP.2 family, the front diameter is consistent, focus and iris gears are standard, and the housing is cine-style, offering thus compatibility with all standardized follow-focus systems. In addition, the 85mm/T1.5 also features a focus ring rotation of a manual 300° and as such allows accurate follow-focusing. 
Furthermore about flexibility -- for anyone who wants to take advantage of the 4K shooting capacity of many of the cameras being released, the entire CP.2 family is 4K-compatible. 
The lenses are also color-matched with the rest of the CP.2 lineup, and so swapping it with another from within the set can conveniently be done without correcting for changes in post.
