Equip your Sony E mount cinema camera with a high-speed full-frame lens using this Nano Prime 18mm T1.5 Cine Lens from ZEISS. This wide-angle lens has an aperture range of T1.5 to T16 to achieve a wide depth of field. A 12-blade rounded iris provides a soft, natural bokeh. The focus ring rotates 280° and the iris ring 90° for intuitive adjustment. A 95mm front diameter and M86 filter thread allow you to incorporate different matte boxes or filters into your camera configuration. Markings on the lens are in feet for precise focus pulling. The lens mount is interchangeable to accommodate a wider range of camera bodies using separately available mounts.
Native Electronic Lens Communication
Electronic communication integrated into the lens transfers lens metadata like model, focusing distance, and aperture value to the camera body. ZEISS eXtended data technology enables focal length, focus position, iris setting, and depth of field calculation metadata transmission to a wide range of cameras and production equipment. All the lens data can be leveraged for accurate focus pulling when combined with a rangefinder or recorded alongside the video footage and applied in post-production.
