Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted October 24, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted October 24, 2009 Ziess just put them out... http://www.zeiss.com/C125756900453232/Cont...125756F003E6703 A bit cheaper than their other lenses I'm told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Lowe Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 FYI, these cover full-frame 35mm Vista Vision, and so might gain popularity when full-frame cinema cameras start to hit the streets in a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted October 24, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted October 24, 2009 I worry 'bout the speed. If i recall they're 'round a T3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 The 25mm and wider are around that; the 18mm is around T4. The new Cookes are T2.8 http://www.cookeoptics.com/cooke.nsf/products/panchro.html The manufacturers must believe there is a market for the slower lenses at a lower price. Although, given the sensivity of the digital cameras, perhaps it's less of an issue than when you basically only had 100 ASA film stock. I've only used the Zeiss/Contex lenses on an Aaton, the quality was pretty good, better than the Zeiss zoom, but not as good as the Zeiss Super Speeds.

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted October 25, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted October 25, 2009 a T 2.8 I can live with most of the time... Or a T2; but even on 500T you can forget 'bout shooting at night under available light :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Vogt Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Perhaps this is meant for the people who are getting the Epic or scarlet with the full frame brain, or in anticipation of full frame DSLR HD Cameras, or even as still primes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted October 29, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted October 29, 2009 Ahh, i got confused. I thought the S5s were the new cookes. I hadn't heard of the rehoused panchros (or rather I might've just forgotten 'bout 'em) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't heard of the rehoused panchros (or rather I might've just forgotten 'bout 'em) I believe they're essentially a new run of the S2/3 panchros. They're all T2.8 rather than the T2.2 or T2.3 of the original S2/3s. I assume it's just in the spirit of not creating competition with their higher end faster lenses.

Shane Kelly Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 hello guys, i am going to buy zeiss compact prime for my Letus DOF adapter, i wonder does anyone use these lenses? what is negative and positive of them? thank you They are reworked versions of the zeiss zf lenses. I have a set of the zf's and they are really sharp. As far as I know they use the same glass as the stills lenses but rehoused them in a more film-friendly way and made them focus in the proper direction (as pl lenses ). The stop is not constant across the line and the wides are especially slow. If you are just using them on the Letus, them I would buy the zf's. If you want to use them on a full frame Red in the future, then the compact primes will serve you well. pro's - reasonable price for Pl mount lenses -should make really sharp and pretty images ( if the zf line is anything to go by) - small compared to other PL primes. - proper "movie" style lens and correct focus rotation. con's - you can get the same image with the zeiss zf line for a lot less money - t-stop is not consistent across the line. Although that's mainly only a problem on the wider lenses. I have the zeiss zf 25,35, 50, 85 and the 100mm and use my nikon 17-35mm 2.8 for the wider angles. I use these both on my letus and my Red camera. I fitted lens gears from zacuto to all the lenses and can use a follow focus. check out this page http://web.me.com/ducloslenses/Duclos/ZeissZF.html best of luck, Shane.
