ZEISS CP3 18MM T2.9 PL (FF)

Shot this on a commercial job for two days and the 18mm coverage on full frame is exactly as advertised—the T2.9 stayed sharp wide open, which I wasn’t expecting. Focus ring felt a bit stiff at first but loosened up nicely, and the rental came in clean condition.

Rented this for a two-day commercial shoot and the 18mm focal length on full-frame was exactly what we needed for those tight interior shots. The T2.9 aperture held up beautifully in low light, and the focus ring felt buttery smooth even after hours of use. Only wish I'd booked it for a third day.

Shot a narrative piece with it and the 18mm focal length gave me just the right distortion for those tight hallway shots without feeling fisheye. The T2.9 aperture held up well for a consistent look across the whole scene.
