The ZEISS 15 - 30mm CZ.2 Compact Zoom Lens in Nikon F mount with focus markings in feet is a short wide-angle zoom lens for production shooting on formats from Micro Four Thirds to Full-Frame sensors. Optimized for digital cinematography, the zoom lens supports 4K resolution and is colormatched to available ZEISS primes for seamless intercutting between zoom and primes.

The lens features internal mechanical adjustments built into a cine-style housing that minimize focus shift across the zoom range. Built-in lens gears on the zoom, focus, and iris rings, allow you to use available follow focus and zoom motors (not included). The lens features a circular iris for natural looking out of focus highlights, with easy to read focus scales calibrated in feet.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Are there any recommended ND filters for this lens? I'm using it on my Panasonic Gh5s with the metabones speedbooster.

A: Since the Tamron has a rear gel filter holder, perhaps the new Haida Rear Lens ND Filter Kit for Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Lens (https://bhpho.to/2XxAC8O)

Q: 2. What is the length of the lens?

A: The Angenieux Optimo Ultra Compact 21-56mm is anticipated to be at or around 235mm in length, though Angenieux has not officially confirmed the length.

Q: 3. Has anyone used this lens for portaits or other situations where you would care about bokeh? I know its mostly a landscape lens, but thinking of getting a 2x adapter and then using it for portraits too.

A: This lens has limited use in portraiture and is not compatible with Nikon's 2.0x teleconverter. Its focal length and f/4 aperture would also limit its ability to diffuse the background / create bokeh.

Q: 4. Are there distortion maps stored via cooke/i? How good are they?

A: The Angenieux Optimo Ultra Compact 21-56mm Zoom Lens (Feet) (B&H# ANGOUC2156FT) features very low distortion, no ramping, minimal breathing, and outstanding center to edge performance. Through its external 4-pin LEMO connector for connecting to an external drive or a display unit it will also transfer metadata using the Cooke /i data protocol standard. Since it is not listed as utilizing the /i Cubed standard, however, it will not be providing distortion mapping data in particular.

Q: 5. What is the difference between this lens with a G2 designation and the same lens without the G2?

A: To the MORON that answered "read the spec"! Michael asked his question because the spec does not spell out the difference. If you don't read the description for the product, then don't post here. People only ask legitimate because the answers were not provided in the description. Why would you pay hundreds more for a lens that is not any different from it's predecessor? Stop being hateful! We are supposed to be her to help.

Q: 6. I know this is a little slow for astro, but has anyone used this for night photography? Does this lens have any Coma issues wide open?
