Carl Zeiss Lenses has announced two additions to the already potent CP.2 lineup.
The Compact Prime 50mm and 100mm macro lenses will round out the set. I had a chance to use a prototype Zeiss Compact Prime CP.2 50mm t2.1 and it is a monster. The housing must be large enough to accommodate the long focus throw of the macro lens. Unlike still camera lenses the barrel stays within the housing to be used with a studio matte box. Because so much of the lens is actually the housing, it is very lightweight. I can’t wait to see the size of the Compact Prime CP.2 100mm t2.1 macro. It is sure to be huge!
Here is the Press Release From Carl Zeiss.
