Sony E Mount With Lens Data. The Zeiss Nano Prime 75mm T1.5 (Sony E) features a Sony E mount capable of transmitting lens metadata via Cooke /i and Zeiss eXtended Data systems. Compatible cameras can read aperture and focus distance in real time and save that into the metadata of captured video.

Full-Frame Sensor Coverage. With the availability of full-frame cinema cameras on the rise, Zeiss set out to design the Nano Prime line as an accessible, budget-friendly high-performance option to cover large-format sensors. Its image circle covers popular full-frame cinema cameras like the Sony VENICE, Sony VENICE 2, Sony BURANO, Sony PXW-FX9, Sony FX6, and Sony FX3.

Cine Image Quality. A defining characteristic of the Nano Prime line of lenses is consistency of color, contrast, and edge-to-edge sharpness that’s akin to what you’d find in the higher-end Supreme Prime series. Color is neutral, contrast is high while maintaining a bright image, and the lenses are sharp all the way to the corners for crisp 4K image capture. Its maximum T1.5 aperture, rounded 12-blade iris, and 2.46-foot minimum focusing distance combine to produce elegant, cinematic bokeh and shallow depth of field, even in wide-angle shots.

Standardized Cine Build. All of the lenses in the Nano Prime series feature consistent focus- and iris-ring positions for painless swaps among the different focal lengths. Each lens has a 95mm front diameter and an 86mm screw-in filter thread that makes them great for use with gimbals and drones, while their smooth 280° focus rotation and 90° iris rotation ensure maximum precision.

Rugged, Compact Cine Housing. This series is relatively small for full-frame cinema lenses, falling between the more compact Zeiss CP.3 line and the larger Zeiss Supreme Primes. These lenses’ rugged, cinema-quality housings are designed to endure extreme conditions, including heat, cold, and rain.
