Description

The GL Optics rehoused Contarex primes bring Zeiss’s early-1960s professional SLR lenses into a compact, ergonomic cinema housing with no external mechanical breathing.

Originally built for the Zeiss Contarex 35mm SLR, these lenses hold excellent close focus and minimal chromatic aberration, with a natural vintage flare and milkiness that still carries the recognisable Zeiss hue. GL Optics’ Mark V rehousing covers full-frame and Super 35 sensors in PL mount.
