Premium 65mm Cinematography with ZEISS Panoptes 65

The ZEISS Panoptes 65 55mm T2.2 brings decades of medium format optical expertise to the modern cinema world. Designed specifically for the 65mm format, this lens offers a 59.9mm image circle, making it the perfect companion for high-end sensors like the ARRI Alexa 265, Blackmagic Design URSA Cine 17K 65, and Fujifilm GFX ETERNA 55.

Mastery of Light and Texture

The Panoptes 65 series is defined by a carefully balanced aesthetic. Cinematographers can expect natural color reproduction, smooth contrast, and forgiving skin textures. The 55mm focal length provides a versatile perspective with a gentle focus fall-off and a silky bokeh that adds an emotionally engaging look to large format productions.

Advanced Workflow and Lens Data

Equipped with ZEISS eXtended Data technology, the Panoptes 65 provides frame-by-frame metadata for distortion and vignetting, alongside standard Cooke /i protocol support. This integration into the ZEISS CinCraft ecosystem streamlines visual effects and virtual production. Furthermore, the lens automatically communicates scale and depth of field data to ARRI Hi-5 and WCU-4 hand units, eliminating the need for manual calibration.

Built for the Professional Set

Efficiency is at the core of the Panoptes 65 design. Featuring a standardized 95mm front diameter and consistent iris and focus gear positions, this lens ensures seamless transitions between focal lengths. The robust housing and high-end ergonomics are engineered to meet the most demanding standards of premium cinematography.
