Zeiss Digizoom 17-112 T1.
The latest step in the Carl Zeiss optics revolution, the Telephoto DigiZoom™
17-112mm T1.9 is the first Zeiss-quality telephoto zoom lens custom-designed and purpose-built for 2/3″ three CCD cameras. Engineered to beautifully complement the DigiZoom 6-24mm T1.9, this remarkable optic combines classic cine style and construction, cutting-edge mechanical design, and the same degree of unsurpassed functionality and exceptional performance.
Compact and Powerful
Engineered to offer big performance in a small package, Carl Zeiss DigiZoom lenses are surprisingly compact and lightweight. At just 9.8″ (249mm), the 6-24mm is sure to fit the bill for handheld, remote and Steadicam work.
Featuring all the standard cine-style accoutrements, and then some, this 4X zoom is equally advantageous in a studio situation, fully outfitted with cine mattebox, bridge-plate, as well as focus, zoom, and iris motors. The ZEISS telephoto 17-112mm is a compact powerhouse. Only 11.8″ (300mm) long and weighing under 9 pounds (4 kg), this 6.5X optic is substantially smaller and lighter than any other high-performance telephoto available.
Equipped for Ease of Use
Designed for easy operation and maximum compatibility with cine style accessories, the ZEISS DigiZoom* 6-24mm I1.9 and Telephoto DigiZoom 17-112mm T1.9 share many features with the popular DigiPrime® family. Like industry standard pitch integral zoom, focus and iris gears and brightly-marked oversized windowed cine scales, readable from either side of the lens. Focus scales are individually calibrated to provide pinpoint accuracy. And, like most of the DigiPrime series, both lenses feature a 95mm front diameter.
Zeiss Precision Back-Focus
The Carl Zeiss revolutionary back-focus mechanism guarantees accurately maintained focus scale calibration across the focusing range. Of course, DigiZoom lenses are fully compatible with the ZEISS Sharp Max™ Universal Back-Focus Alignment device.
9 Blade Iris
Carl Zeiss DigiZoom and DigiPrime lenses utilize the same innovative iris design for unequaled performance, free from lag, slop, or backlash.
Internal Focusing Design & Close Focusing
These innovative optics incorporate the singular Carl Zeiss Internal Focusing Design for top performance – center to corner – over the entire focus and zoom range, a consistent center of gravity, minimum balance shift, and no measurable breathing. What’s more, the ZEISS DigiZoom 6-24mm focuses to just 22″ from the image plane — a close-focusing 11″ from the front of the lens. The extraordinary Telephoto 17-112mm focuses to just 30″ from the image plane, less than 5″ from the front of the lens.
Low Light Performance
Like all Carl Zeiss precision optics, DigiZoom lenses are designed to offer optimum performance in low light situations with the aperture fully open. The ZEISS design provides unsurpassed contrast control by minimizing flare, veiling glare, and internal reflections well below other cine lenses. Users will enjoy superior relative illumination and high resolution over the entire screen edge-to-edge, throughout the focal and zoom range.
Perfect Color Match
For exceptional color characteristics, Carl Zeiss carefully selects superior quality optical glass, then applies proprietary coatings. Both lenses are precision engineered to accurately color match and seamlessly intercut images made with members of the Carl Zeiss DigiPrime family.
