Interchangeable Mount Set for CP.3 Lenses
The Zeiss Interchangeable Mount Set adapts 21mm, 25mm, 28mm and 35mm Compact Prime CP.3 PL bayonet lenses to alternative camera systems. It is built for cinematographers and photographers who need to switch between lens mounts such as Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E or MFT without changing their core glass.
Upgrading from Fixed-Mount CP.3 Lenses
This set replaces the standard PL mount on supported CP.3 primes, adding the ability to move lenses between different camera bodies. The jump is worth it when a production workflow regularly shifts between mounts and the lenses must stay in service across multiple platforms.
Practical Limits of the PL Bayonet Interface
The PL bayonet provides a secure mechanical connection, but the mount set itself does not add electronic communication for standard CP.3 lenses. Users requiring lens metadata recording must select the electronic-interface version, while the standard version remains a purely mechanical adapter.
