ZEISS Compact Prime CP.2 28mm/T2.1

The Zeiss Compact Prime CP.2 28mm T2.1 is a purpose-built cinema lens designed for full-frame coverage. It offers a 14-blade aperture and a long, smooth focus throw of approximately 300 degrees, allowing for precise focus pulls. The lens is built into a robust cinema housing with standard 0.8 pitch gears and a consistent front diameter across the CP.2 range for easy use with matte boxes. Verify that the focus and iris rings move fluidly without any binding or dry spots. Check the mount for any signs of excessive wear or play, particularly if the mount has been interchanged. SDS inspects the internal glass for dust or haze and confirms that the aperture blades are clean and symmetrical during operation.
