Zeiss Compact Prime CP.2 Lenses Rental

[Gary Ploj]

Hi,

Does any one know where you can rent these lenses when they come out. I read or heard like June but i was wondering about rental first before I buy?

Thanks.

Rather unscientifically I would recommend Abel Cine Tech:

Abel does not currently have the CP2 lenses in rental but we likely will in the near future. Certainly for anyone wishing to test or demo them we could make an arrangement. Talk to us.

Hey Mitch, just curious if Abel is intending to get any sets of Illuminas in? any plans for it at all? Reseller is based out of Florida and would be nice to have a set to test out in the tri state area.

Gary, which focal lengths are you considering?

No particular plans at the moment.

Hi Gary,

We plan to carry (sell/rent) the CP.2 primes because of their coverage of FF35, and the rental possibilities for 5D Mk2 and future Nikon camera owners.

I think it was great "forward-thinking" design from the venerable lens manufacturer given the market - i.e. if they camera manufacturers won't come to us (and make PL mount cameras...(psst. Canon,:banghead we'll come to them. I've always been a fan of that kind of "modularity by design" (Red 2x :thumbsup

Cheers,
Oliver

Hi Michael,

I was thinking of the 18, 21, 28, 85...so far...I'm sure since I didn't have the chance this year to go to NAB to see them up-close.

Okay...good to know. Let us know when you will be getting some...love to come down and test them, if that's possible.
