Compact Prime and Zoom lenses

ZEISS Mount Change Instructions

A. Adjusting the flange focal distance to the lens

Congratulations on the purchase of this Compact Prime CP.2 lens set. We are convinced that your new lenses will bring you much pleasure and success.

The Compact Prime CP.2 lenses are the latest members of the ZEISS family of lenses

for digital and film cameras. They deliver great flexibility by introducing interchangeable mounts that allow the lenses to be used with a wide range of cameras, from traditional cine to HDSLR systems. Available in five different mounts – PL, EF, F, Micro 4/3 and E – this new family of ZEISS lenses enables cinematographers to be completely free in their choice of camera systems. The Compact Prime CP.2 lenses cover the full-frame image format without vignetting.

In this manual we take a Compact Prime CP.2 35mm/ T 2.1 with EF mount, scaled in feet

as an example to explain how to change a lens mount and the subsequent matching of your lens to a DSLR camera. Proceed in the same sequences to switch to any other CP.2 mount.

B. Overview

General instructions

The use of a T6 torque wrench with a torque of 0.4 Nm is strongly recommended. This wrench can be purchased from Carl Zeiss (see appendix, page 17).

Ensure that the environment is clean and free from dust so that no dust particles can enter the lens during the following procedure.

Smudges and fingerprints on the lens surface can be gently removed with a soft brush and then with a dry and clean cotton cloth. The ZEISS lens cleaning kit will give superior results and is highly recommended for this purpose.

When matching the lens, ensure that the colored shims lie on top of each other in the groove of the lens barrel and do not cover the screw holes.

Please handle the shims carefully as they can easily kink or tear which makes them unusable.

C. Changing the mount

1. Remove the rear lens cap.

2. Remove the four torx screws of the silver EF mount with a T6 torque wrench and place the mount and the screws on one side.

3. Remove the eight torx screws of the black EF adapter ring and place the ring and the screws on one side.

The silver support bracket is already installed on the EF adapter ring at the factory and does not need to be removed.

5. Place the PL mount on the lens in such a way that the groove on the rear side of the PL mount fits over the silver screw on the lens barrel.

6. Tighten the eight torx screws with the T6 torque wrench using a torque of 0.4 Nm.

7.When the torx screws have been tightened, the lens can be fitted to a camera with a PL mount and used.
