A new cine lens from lens maker Carl Zeiss could change the quality of mountain bike films for ever.

The LWZ.2 lightweight zoom is designed to be used with HDSLR cameras and if by far the highest quality lens ever made for such a purpose. It could easily change the quality and scope for MTB filmers if they can ever afford one!

Check out the details:

Lightweight Zoom LWZ.2 with interchangeable mount

The new Lightweight Zoom LWZ.2 is the first on the market to combine outstanding optical image quality with an interchangeable mount. The LWZ.2 is a cine lens designed for use with HDSLR as well as traditional cine cameras. The interchangeable mount guarantees high flexibility for present and future use in any situation and for a wide range of camera platforms.

• Three different mounts available (PL, EF and F mount)
• Compact, lightweight zoom ideal for Steadicam, hand held and remote work
• Super color matched with all ZEISS cine lenses
• Highest optical performance despite compact build
• T* XP coating ensures flare resistance

The Lightweight Zoom LWZ.2 is the ideal lens for shooting in confined spaces like airplanes, car interiors or elevators. It is also great when a lightweight camera is needed for action sequences, and for applications where size and weight are at a premium, including Steadicam, handheld, remote heads, car rigs, motorcycle rigs, bicycle mounts, body mounts and underwater shoots. In addition, small size and light weight afford a more efficient shooting pace.
