High performance, full format cinema zoom lenses – made in Germany.

The ZEISS 15-30mm CZ.2 Compact Zoom Lens in PL or EF mount, is a short wide-angle zoom lens for productions shooting on formats from Super35 to Full-Frame and Large-Format sensors. Optimized for digital cinematography, the zoom lens supports beyond 8K resolution and is color matched to ZEISS primes for seamless intercutting between zoom and primes.

The CZ.2 15-30 zoom lens features internal mechanical adjustments built into a rugged cine-style housing that minimizes focus shift across the zoom range. Built-in lens gears on the zoom, focus, and iris rings, allow you to use available follow focus and zoom motors, with an ARRI Hi-5 for example. The lens features a circular iris for natural looking out of focus highlights, with easy to read focus scales calibrated in feet.
