The Zeiss Contax lenses, often referred to as “Full Frame Super Speeds”, share a similar look to the legendary Zeiss Super Speeds, offering slightly higher contrast yet a softer rendering on skin. Originally released in the 1970s for still photography, these lenses feature the renowned T* coatings and exceptional optical design.
Now, GTC Patron TLS has rehoused these lenses to meet the demands of the latest cinema camera technology, available in PL or LPL mounts.
