One lens for almost everything

The ZEISS Classic lens family offers excellent image quality with high contrast for technical and industrial applications as well as a precise focus and aperture unit. The exterior design consists of a full metal housing and a focus ring that enables precise manual focusing.

The lenses cover line sensors up to 43 mm (4k to 8k) or full format sensors of 24 x 36 mm (up to 42 Mpixel). They are available with F-mount and M42x1-mount (45.5 mm focal length with flange) for more stability. The lens family consists of five lenses from 25 mm to 85 mm.

The ZEISS Classic lens series is perfect for applications with high-speed cameras. This is where they prove their outstanding imaging performance and reliability. Thanks to the precise manual adjustment of the worm gear focusing, you achieve significantly better results than with comparable lenses.
