Description — Zeiss 15mm T2.9
The ZEISS CP.3 15mm T2.9 Compact Prime is a wide-angle, manual focus cine prime lens built for the Micro Four Thirds camera system. With a maximum aperture of T2.9, it delivers consistent light transmission well-suited to professional cinema and video work in a range of lighting conditions. The lens falls within the Wide Angle focal length range, making it a strong choice for scenes requiring a broad perspective — from interior environments to expansive establishing shots.
Weighing in at 900g, it offers a balance between build quality and portability that works well across rigs, gimbals, and shoulder mounts. The 95mm front filter thread is a shared specification across the CP.3 line, which means cinematographers can maintain a unified filter system without additional step-up rings when working with multiple CP.3 primes. As a prime lens with no image stabilization, it is designed for use in setups where stabilization is managed externally.
The Manual focus system is purpose-built for cine workflows where precise, repeatable focus control is essential.
