Optically they remain the same as standard ZE but as you can see from the image above a CP.2 style housing is added (left) to create a “CT.2″.This includes gearing for a follow focus, T-stop marks instead of F-stop, cinema standard front thread size as well as a stepless aperture ring.[url="http://www.eoshd.com/content/8266/zeiss-cp-2-without-the-price-tag-a-look-at-cinema-modified-ze-lenses/"]Read full article[/url][/html] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vincegortho 8 Report post Posted June 24, 2012 A video of the lens. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2krTPYVOizg I almost ordered one, but thought best to modify my old lenses to this body style, standardizing them to a single format., Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
