B. Overview
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.
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.
