Six vintage Contax Zeiss primes, rehoused with gear rings for the follow focus. The lenses are small and light and render with classic Zeiss contrast, but softer than modern cine primes, and they tend to flare a bit wide open. As stills lenses they have short focus throws and different front diameters – plan step-up rings for the matte box or filters.
Ideal for low-budget features, music videos and documentaries with a vintage look on full frame or S35.
