With these new mounts, we respond to many of our customers wishes asking to use the lenses on these new HD video cameras, said Holger Sehr, Product Manager for Cinematography lenses at Carl Zeiss AG, Camera Lens Division.
Thanks to the interchangeable mounts, now for five different camera systems – PL, EF, MFT, F and E mount our Compact Prime CP.2 lenses deliver superb flexibility, can be used in many different market segments, and are attractive for both end-customers and rental houses.
