| Two more DigiPrime® lenses to be introduced at NAB |
| |
 | | NAB 2003 in Las Vegas will see the introduction of two more lenses in the successful Carl Zeiss DigiPrime® lens range for digital cinematography with 24p High Definition cameras. The Distagon® T* 1.5/28 lens will bridge the gap between the existing 20 mm and 40 mm lenses, while the Distagon® T* 1.5/70 CF lens will extend the line to longer focal lengths while, at the same time, offering extreme close-focusing capability where very high image quality is reached. |

 | | At the close-focus limit of 33 centimeters in front of the image receiver, mere 6 cm in front of the front lens element, the Distagon® T* 1.5/70 CF lens can frame an object of 38 mm x 51 mm. This is less than half a credit card. The intended purpose of this capability are commercials, where small products or parts thereof are shown close-up with stunningly sharp detail and impressively fill the entire screen. While working pre-production lenses of the Distagon® T* 1.5/28 lens will be shown at NAB, and will be available for field testing right after the show, the first working units of the Distagon® T* 1.5/70 CF lens will be available at Cinegear in June 2003. |
