Designed for demanding cinematography applications, the Zeiss 28-80mm T2.9 CZ.2 Compact Zoom Lens combines exceptional optical performance with a robust cine-style construction. Covering a versatile focal range from wide-angle to short telephoto, this full-frame cinema zoom delivers consistently sharp, high-contrast images across the entire zoom range while maintaining a constant T2.9 aperture for reliable exposure control.

Engineered specifically for professional video production, the lens features a parfocal design that eliminates focus shift during zooming, allowing operators to maintain critical focus throughout shots. ZEISS T* anti-reflective coatings and internal light traps significantly reduce flare, ghosting, and veiling glare, ensuring superior image clarity even in challenging lighting conditions. A circular iris creates smooth, natural bokeh and pleasing out-of-focus rendering.

The compact and lightweight design makes the lens ideal for handheld rigs, gimbals, Steadicam systems, and shooting in confined spaces. Its cine-style housing includes industry-standard focus and zoom gears, approximately 300° of focus rotation, and a calibrated focus scale for precise focus pulling. Built to withstand professional production environments, the lens offers improved dust and water protection and has passed rigorous environmental testing.

With full-frame coverage, interchangeable mount capability, and support for resolutions up to 8K, the Zeiss CZ.2 28-80mm is a future-proof investment for filmmakers seeking premium optical quality and long-term versatility.
