Cinema 5D Quick Take: Zeiss Compact Prime Lenses For HDSLR's

Here is a quick take on the new Carl Zeiss Lenses Compact Primes. The new CP.2's are available in either Canon EF, Nikon or PL mounts. They have a small baffle in the rear of the lens that helps control lens flare. They are not cheap at around $3500 each but they are well worth the price. The glass is hand picked in Germany and they are uniform in size. Currently they are some of the few Cinema Style lenses that will cover a full frame digital sensor.

[goforjared]

What happens at 48 seconds in?

[johnnyonline]

so given they're so much larger than other DSLR lenses, why ARE they called compact primes?

[goforjared]

@johnnyonline They are much smaller in size and weight than the newer 35mm prime lenses like Cooke s4's

@pacosaidso Why do people in the west say caynon and naikon whereas everyone else says canon and neekon (British say Nekon)

[cubeproduktion]

Is the Zeiss ZE lens great for stills and video or is it the Canon 85 1.2 great for stills and video?

[pacosaidso]

Nikon is japanese. It's not "najkoon", it's "neekon". Try saying two in japanese and stick to the same "ni". Same goes for Mamiya, but it's not relevant here (mamajja?)..
