CARL ZEISS DIGIZOOM™ 6-24MM T1.9

SMALL WONDER
At just 9.8” (249mm), the Carl Zeiss DigiZoom is surprisingly compact and lightweight. So it’s sure to fit the bill for handheld, remote and Steadicam work. Featuring all the standard cine-style accouterment, and then some, the new zoom lens is equally advantageous in a studio situation, fully outfitted with cine mattebox, bridgeplate, as well as focus, zoom, and iris motors.

COMMON ADVANTAGES
For easy use and optimal compatibility with cine lens accessories, the 4X optic offers 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 each lens for pinpoint accuracy. Like the rest of the family, the Carl Zeiss DigiZoom features a 95mm front diameter.

PRECISION BACK-FOCUS
It was DigiPrime lenses that set a new standard for precision back-focus alignment. So it is no surprise that the new 4X zoom employs the Zeiss proprietary back-focus mechanism to ensure accurately maintained focus scale calibration across the focusing range. The zoom is fully compatible with the ZEISS Sharp Max™ Universal Back-Focus Alignment device.

INTERNAL FOCUSING DESIGN & CLOSE FOCUSING
This innovative zoom employs the Carl Zeiss Internal Focusing Design to ensure top performance—center to corner—over the entire focus and zoom range, a consistent center of gravity, minimum balance shift, and no breathing. What’s more, like most Zeiss DigiPrime lenses, the 6-24mm zoom focuses to just 22” from the image plane. That’s a close-focusing 11” from the front of the lens. ZEISS DigiZoom uniquely offers the ability to focus tightly on objects as small as 66mm x 117mm. Thus, even objects as small as a business card can fill the frame in precise focus.

9 BLADE IRIS
Both ZEISS DigiZoom™ and DigiPrime® lenses utilize the same innovative iris design for unequaled performance, free from lag, slop, or backlash.

LOW LIGHT FRIENDLY
The 6-24mm zoom offers numerous advantages for film-style production. Like DigiPrime lenses, the new zoom has been engineered for optimum performance in low light situations with the aperture fully open. The Carl Zeiss design provides unsurpassed contrast control by minimizing flare, veiling glare, and internal reflections—well below other lenses. It also offers superior relative illumination and high resolution over the entire screen edge-to-edge, throughout the focal range. Users will appreciate that the ZEISS DigiZoom does not ramp.

PERFECT COLOR MATCH
For exceptional color characteristics, Carl Zeiss carefully selects superior quality optical glass, then applies proprietary coatings. Naturally, Zeiss engineers have designed the 4X zoom to accurately color match and seamlessly intercut images made with the DigiPrime® family.
