Versatile 21-100mm Zoom Range
The Carl Zeiss LWZ.3 covers a 21-100mm focal range with a T2.9-3.9 aperture, built for Sony E-mount cameras. It serves filmmakers and photographers who need a single lightweight zoom for wide-angle establishing shots through to tight portrait framing on professional productions.
Upgrade from Fixed Focal Lengths
This lens replaces a kit of prime lenses when fast lens changes are impractical on set. The jump is worth it for run-and-gun documentary, commercial or TV drama work where the 21-100mm span and consistent T-stop performance keep the schedule moving without sacrificing optical quality.
Suited for Solo Operators and Small Crews
Ideal for owner-operators and compact crews who value speed and reduced gear weight. Teams needing longer telephoto reach, wider maximum aperture than T2.9, or a different lens mount should look at other options.

Questions about this item
Will the LWZ.3 21-100mm lens mount directly on a Sony E-mount camera body?
Yes, the lens is built for Sony E-mount and attaches directly to the camera without any adapter.
What is the correct way to secure the LWZ.3 lens to the camera, and what step is often missed?
Align the white mounting index on the lens barrel with the matching mark on the camera mount, turn clockwise until it clicks, then engage the lens lock lever if the body has one; the missed step is forgetting to flip that lever.
What regular upkeep does the LWZ.3 21-100mm T2.9-3.9 lens require over time?
Clean the front and rear glass with a blower and microfibre cloth, check the zoom and focus rings for smooth operation, and have a technician re-lubricate the helicoids if they stiffen after heavy use.
