  • Superior clarity on VistaVision/Full Frame sensors

  • 15-degree horizontal angle of view on full frame
  • Compact lightweight design for stabilizer compatibility

Professional Cine Lens for Full Frame

The Carl Zeiss CP.3 135mm T2.1 is a compact prime lens built for Canon EF mount cameras covering VistaVision and full-frame sensors. It delivers the clean, crisp image quality associated with Zeiss optics, featuring advanced coatings and internal light traps to suppress veiling glare and flare for higher contrast and richer blacks.

Suited for Narrative and Commercial Work

Cinematographers needing a lightweight telephoto prime with consistent gear positions across a ten-lens set will benefit from the interchangeable mount system and calibrated focus scales marked in feet. Operators requiring autofocus, electronic aperture control or stabilisation should look elsewhere, as this lens is fully manual and passive.

Telephoto Reach with Wide Aperture Range

The 135mm focal length provides a 15-degree horizontal angle of view on full frame, ideal for compressed perspectives and subject isolation. A T2.1 to T22 iris range offers deep stop-down capability, while the 1m close focus distance (39 inches) allows detailed close-ups without accessory diopters.

Questions about this item

What camera mount does this 135mm CP.3 lens require to attach and function?

The lens is built for Canon EF mount cameras, so the body must accept EF lenses natively or via an adapter that maintains the correct flange distance.

Will the lens cover the sensor of my Super 35 cinema camera without vignetting?

Yes, its image circle covers VistaVision and full-frame sensors, so a smaller Super 35 frame sits well inside the illuminated area.

How can I verify the iris is stopping down accurately from T2.1 to T22?

Watch the iris blades close smoothly through each click stop while pointing at a bright, even surface; exposure should darken in consistent steps.
