Zeiss CP.3 85mm T2.1

A full-frame Zeiss Compact Prime: 85mm at T2.1. Every CP.3 shares the 95mm front, a 300-degree focus throw and the same ring positions, so lenses swap without moving the follow focus or matte box. 14-blade iris, close focus 1m, about 880g. Zeiss's interchangeable mount system takes PL, EF, E, F and MFT mount kits; this is the Canon EF version.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
