Zeiss ZF.2 Cine-Mod

Vintage Lenses | EF | FF

The Zeiss ZF.2 Lens Set brings together a distinctive blend of German optical prowess and aesthetic finesse, providing filmmakers with a toolkit that captures both razor-sharp details and nostalgic nuances. Notably, within this set, lenses with wider focal lengths are termed "Distagon" due to their retrofocus design tailored to minimize distortion, ensuring that vast landscapes and intricate interiors are depicted with remarkable fidelity. On the other hand, the "Planar" lenses, often found in the standard to telephoto range, boast a symmetric design known for its outstanding sharpness and minimal aberrations, making them ideal for capturing compelling close-ups and intimate moments. Beyond these technicalities, what makes the Distagon/Planar series stand out is its enchanting rendering of out-of-focus areas, producing a gentle and creamy bokeh that's evocative of classic cinema. Paired with a consistent color reproduction that ensures vibrancy and authenticity, this lens set serves as a bridge between time-tested artistry and modern optical excellence. Our set of Distagon and Planar is cine-modded in Los Angeles by Duclos, and covers full frame.
