Why It Matters
ZEISS is adding a ten-lens, T2.2 prime set aimed squarely at large-format cinema bodies, giving productions a matched option across 25mm to 180mm. That matters for camera teams working with the Alexa 265, URSA Cine 17K 65, and GFX ETERNA 55, since the source frames Panoptes 65 as a coverage play for those systems. The concrete signal to watch is the first hands-on showing at Cine Gear Expo LA on June 5, where the practical fit for large-format rigs will be visible.
