Interchangeable Mount Set for CP.3 Lenses

The Zeiss Interchangeable Mount Set adapts 21mm, 25mm, 28mm and 35mm Compact Prime CP.3 PL bayonet lenses to alternative camera systems. It is built for cinematographers and photographers who need to switch between lens mounts such as Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E or MFT without changing their core glass.

Upgrading from Fixed-Mount CP.3 Lenses

This set replaces the standard PL mount on supported CP.3 primes, adding the ability to move lenses between different camera bodies. The jump is worth it when a production workflow regularly shifts between mounts and the lenses must stay in service across multiple platforms.

Practical Limits of the PL Bayonet Interface

The PL bayonet provides a secure mechanical connection, but the mount set itself does not add electronic communication for standard CP.3 lenses. Users requiring lens metadata recording must select the electronic-interface version, while the standard version remains a purely mechanical adapter.

Questions about this item

Which focal lengths does this mount set support for the CP.3 PL lenses?

The set is designed for 21mm, 25mm, 28mm, and 35mm Compact Prime CP.3 PL bayonet mount lenses.

How are the shims used during installation to achieve correct back focus?

Color-coded shims are placed between the lens and the new mount to precisely adjust the flange focal distance for sharp focus.

Does the electronic interface version require firmware updates to maintain lens metadata recording?

The electronic interface records lens data directly onto CP.3 XD lenses through the camera's internal interface without separate firmware updates.
