Zeiss Panoptes 65 135 mm T2.2 meter product description

The Pinnacle of 65mm Cinematography

The ZEISS Panoptes 65 135mm T2.2 brings a rich history of optical expertise to the modern 65mm cinema format. Designed for high-end productions, this lens delivers the signature ZEISS look with a carefully balanced aesthetic tailored for large sensors. Cinematographers can expect natural color reproduction, forgiving skin textures, and a smooth, silky bokeh that creates an emotionally engaging image.

Mastery Over the Image

With a generous 59.9mm image circle, the Panoptes 65 series is built for the most demanding sensors, including the ARRI Alexa 265, Blackmagic Design URSA Cine 17K 65, and Fujifilm GFX ETERNA 55. The 135mm focal length provides a compressed perspective with minimal distortion and chromatic aberration, ensuring high resolution and smooth contrast even when shooting wide open at T2.2.

Advanced Workflow and Metadata

Equipped with ZEISS eXtended Data technology, the Panoptes 65 135mm provides frame-by-frame lens metadata, including distortion and vignetting maps. This integration into the ZEISS CinCraft ecosystem simplifies visual effects, camera tracking, and virtual production workflows. Additionally, the lens automatically communicates scale and depth of field information to ARRI Hi-5 and WCU-4 units, eliminating the need for manual calibration.
