ZEISS CZ.2 28-80mm T2.9 (ft) Overview

The ZEISS 28-80mm T2.9 Compact Zoom CZ.2 Lens with PL Mount is a standard zoom lens that is optimized for motion picture production. The lens offers full-frame (36 x 24 mm) coverage and exhibits no focus shift over the zoom range.

ZEISS Compact Zooms utilize T* anti-reflex coating and internal light traps to suppress flare, and a circular iris renders attractive bokeh. Interchangeable lens mounts are available in PL, Canon EF, Nikon F, Micro 4/3, and Sony E, which means that users are not locked into a single camera system. A range of mounting options and 4K ready optics make the 28-80mm Compact Zoom a versatile and virtually "future proof" lens.

Is there a Cooke/i or Zeiss XD port?

Is there a Cooke/i or Zeiss XD port?
Asked by: Phil
No this lens series does not have any data ports. They are not smart lenses and were introduced before XD technology was developed.

question

can i get a servo on this lens?
Asked by: Anonymous
The zoom is manual. You would need to use a 3rd party controller to add servo zoom.
