ZEISS Contax — GLOptics Rehoused

€250.00

The ZEISS Contax lenses rehoused by GLOptics bring the distinctive character of classic ZEISS stills glass into a fully production-ready cinema package. Known for their strong micro-contrast, natural colour reproduction and beautiful tonal separation, they create images with a sense of depth and dimensionality while retaining a refined, organic quality. The set combines fast apertures — including T1.5 on the 35mm and 85mm — with the unmistakable rendering of vintage ZEISS optics, making it a versatile choice for cinematographers looking for character without sacrificing image definition.

GLOptics' rehousing gives these lenses the handling expected on a modern film set, with consistent 110mm fronts, PL mounting and long focus rotations of up to 330°. The original Contax optical character is preserved while the mechanics are adapted for precise cinema operation, making the set equally at home in narrative, commercial and music video work. With coverage extending to Full Frame and VistaVision on many focal lengths, these lenses offer a compelling balance between vintage personality and contemporary usability — clean enough for controlled commercial imagery, yet expressive enough to give a project its own visual signature.
