Zeiss Panoptes 65 135 mm T2.2 feet

Premium 65mm Cinema Optics

The ZEISS Panoptes 65 135mm T2.2 represents the pinnacle of large-format cinematography, blending decades of optical expertise with a modern aesthetic. Designed specifically for the 65mm format, this lens delivers a distinctive, emotionally engaging look characterized by natural color reproduction, forgiving skin textures, and a smooth focus fall-off that creates a truly cinematic depth.

Mastery of the Large Format

With a massive 59.9mm image circle, the Panoptes 65 series is built for the next generation of sensors, including the ARRI Alexa 265, Blackmagic Design URSA Cine 17K 65, and Fujifilm GFX ETERNA 55. The 135mm focal length offers a tight, intimate perspective while maintaining the signature silky bokeh and minimized chromatic aberration expected from ZEISS high-end glass.

Professional Workflow and Ergonomics

Efficiency on set is paramount. The Panoptes 65 135mm features standardized gear positions for iris and focus, along with a 95mm front diameter consistent with most of the set. Integrated ZEISS eXtended Data technology provides frame-by-frame metadata for distortion and vignetting, streamlining post-production and virtual production workflows via the CinCraft ecosystem.
