Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this lens transmit information required for auto-focus, auto iris, stabilization and distance/f-stop info in viewfinder?

A: This mount version has no electronic communication.

Q: 2. Are these the same as interconnect cables for connecting home audio hi-fi components (e.g. CD player, DAC, amplifier)? Thanks.

A: XLR connectors are not typically offered on home AV products. XLR connections are most often used with professional audio components.

Q: 3. What’s the image stabilization like on these lenses? Is it harder to maintain a smooth shot in comparison to some other 35’s?

A: The Carl Zeiss CP.3 cinema lenses have no stabilization whatsoever.

Q: 4. Is this lens rectilinear?

A: Yes, the ZEISS CP.3 2.9/15 is a rectilinear design with well controlled geometric distortion.

Q: 5. Is this lens compatible with Sony 6500 Premium E-mount APS-C Camera?

A: Yes, you can use the ZEISS Compact Prime CP.3 lens with E mount on this camera. There is no communication with the camera however and no EXIF data transferred to the file.

Q: 6. Do CP.3's allow for a protective filter to be screwed on?

Q: 7. Can I get Camera control with the RED V-Raptor?

A: Currently, the Teradek RT FIZ Wireless Lens Control Kit with CTRL.3, MDR.X & MOTR.S can only control Start/Stop on the RED V-Raptor.

Q: 8. How does this perform in terms of CA levels and purple fringing at all aperture settings?

A: It is our understanding that the optical properties of the CP.2 and CP.3 lenses are very similar. There were reports of some CA with the CP.2 lenses. Being that these are Zeiss, we doubt that this really is something that the cinematographer will be concerned about let alone his audience. CA is dependent on lighting, focus and aperture as well. We would encourage you to rent and test before you buy to make sure these lenses are for you.

Q: 9. Does this lens send metadata to bmpcc 4k?

A: The ZEISS CP.3 XD lenses transfer meta data using the Cooke /i Technology protocol. This is available only on select cameras using a PL mount. The BMPCC with MFT mount does not support the /i Technology protocol and neither does the standard ZEISS CP.3 EF mount lens. You could use the BM Ursa Mini Pro with PL mount along with the ZEISS CP.3 XD PL and then there would be a meta data exchange.

Q: 10. If I use this lens on a c300 Mark II there will be some crop correct? This lens is made for full frame camera?

A: The ZEISS CP.3 lenses - like the previous version CP.2 - are designed for full-frame cameras using 24x36mm sensor sizes. Since the camera in question uses an APS-C sensor of 13.8x24.6mm, it has an effective crop factor of 1.46x when using FF lenses.
