CONTAX CLUB Carl Zeiss 討論區

I was informed by a local camera shop that Carl Zeiss is going to release their Compact Prime in Nikon F and Canon EF, for so I sent an email to Carl Zeiss for the details. Here is the answer from Carl Zeiss............

"Yes, we will release our new Compact Prime lenses (CP.2) with interchangeable mounts (PL-mount, EF-mount and F-mount) on the NAB in Las Vegas (April 10th to 15th, 2010).
We plan to start with a range of 6 focal lengths (18 - 85mm). The availability is scheduled for summer, 2010."

A link included in the email:

"Not much will change in the CP.2 series. The price will go down a bit but the lenses themselves will remain aesthetically , for the most part, the same. The interchangeable mount is a huge advantage, but don’t confuse it with something you order from ebay… The mount can and should be switched in proper conditions by a qualified technician. The flange depth is still critical and contamination is always a risk. So forget having your local machine shop hack up your 5DII and simply snatch up a CP.2 in EOS mount. The CP.2 series is due to begin shipping in May and the lenses will run with packages similar to that of the regular Compact Primes, set of any three or set of any six, but at a lower cost than the soon to be discontinued Compact Primes (CP.1 if you will)."

Certainly a good match for the old tele range Standard Prime!

The adapter mount concept should apply to the SLR lines. However, the adapter mount of the CP.2 will have CPU?

not surprises, this had been noted since the 5D-Mk.II release, basically the DSLR is just another unique cine platform now so of course the CP series lens is provided for that ( they are after all cine lens ) ...

Just got a edm from cz:


Dear Mr. Sham,

The trend of filming in high definition using a digital SLR camera is unstoppable. Moviemaking today is unthinkable without this technique, whether for independent filmmakers, television producers or professional still photographers who wish to expand their services.

This is why optics specialist Carl Zeiss now introduces the world's first set of cine lenses designed especially for HDSLR cameras: the Compact Prime CP.2 lenses.

Why change the mount on the camera when you can change it on the lens? The Compact Prime CP.2 lenses deliver great flexibility by introducing interchangeable mounts that allow the lenses to be used with a wide range of cameras, from traditional cine to HDSLR systems. Available with three different mounts – PL, EF and F – this new family of ZEISS lenses enables cinematographers to be completely free in their choice of camera systems while ensuring a high consistency of images.

The Compact Prime CP.2 lenses cover a full-frame 24 x 36 image format without vignetting. They will be based around a common aperture of T2.1 for the standard set, which is an improvement over the first generation of lenses.

Get your hands on the new Carl Zeiss Compact Prime CP.2 lenses at NAB in Las Vegas.
Find all the details about Compact Prime CP.2 lenses on our website (http://www.zeiss.com/cine) starting April 12, 2010.
