Carl zeiss digi primes (pl, ef & f mount)

[GRENCH]

Carl Zeiss has introduced a set of cine prime and zoom lenses that offer interchangeable mounts for use with video enabled DSLRs. With a choice of Canon EF, Nikon F and Arri PL mount for professional cine cameras, the CP.2 compact primes offer a choice of 18mm to 85mm focal lengths with maximum apertures ranging from T2.1 to T3.6 and can be used on full frame cameras such as Canon 5D Mark II. The LWZ.2 lightweight zoom lenses cover the 'ANSI Super 35' image area (24.9 x 18.7mm) that is a fraction larger than APS-C sensors (24 x 16mm). The lenses will be available from June 2010.

You're looking at $3900 per lens. Around 25k for the set.

They were nice out @ NAB. However I became disinterested when I saw that the 18mm is a T 3.6

That is just stupid.

Yeah, I have to admit that is pretty lame

You do realize that Zeiss Digi Primes are quite a different line than their Compact Primes?
Digi Primes are for 2/3" cameras, and as a set are far more expensive.
