Zeiss Compact Zoom User Manual

ZEISS Compact Zoom family

Small enough to keep you moving.
Big enough to move your audience.

The moment everything you shoot becomes cinema.

This is the moment we work for.

“ I could not be more impressed with the CZ.2 70-200 mm and the

CZ.2 28-80 mm from ZEISS. On a recent short film ‘ESCAPE’ Ihave

noticed how well the Compact Zoom lenses fit to the UltraPrimes.

Take the optical performance of both products – it is nearly

identical. And the combination of Ultra Prime and CompactZoom

is wonderful together. The cinematic bokeh blew me away with it’s

sharpness and contrast, not to mention the incredible action and

build. I was really happy with how the ZEISS cine zoom performed

wide open. Compared to other ZEISSPrimes I couldn´t see any

significant difference in quality.” Den Lennie DP & Educator
