For ease of use and optimal compatibility with cine lens accessories, the 4X Digi-Zoom offers industry standard pitch integral zoom, focus and iris gears and brightly-marked oversized windowed cine scales, readable from either side of the lens. Focus scales are individually calibrated to each lens for pinpoint accuracy. Like the rest of the family, the Carl Zeiss DigiZoom features a 95mm front diameter.

The Digi-Prime lenses set a new standard for precision back-focus alignment. It is no surprise that the new 4X Digi-Zoom employs the Zeiss proprietary back-focus mechanism to ensure accurately maintained focus scale calibration across the focusing range. The zoom is fully compatible with the ZEISS Sharp Max Universal Back-Focus Alignment device.

This innovative zoom lens employs the Carl Zeiss Internal Focusing Design to ensure top performance center to corner over the entire focus and zoom range, a consistent center of gravity, minimum balance shift, and no breathing. What's more, like most Zeiss DigiPrime lenses, the 6-24mm zoom focuses to just 22” from the image plane, just 11” from the front of the lens. Zeiss DigiZoom uniquely offers the ability to focus tightly on objects as small as 66mm x 117mm. Thus, even objects as small as a business card can fill the frame in precise focus.

Both Zeiss DigiZoom and DigiPrime lenses utilize the same innovative nine blade iris design for unequaled performance, free from lag, slop, or backlash. The focus and iris scales are arranged in the ergonomically correct order: focus in front and iris behind, next to the camera. Solid construction under rigid tolerances keeps the focus and iris gear positions absolutely fixed even while focusing. There is no axial travel and no play. Positioning external lens motors and encoders is simplified, so there's less wear and tear. Lens changes are made simple, speedy and safe.

The T1.9 6-24mm zoom offers numerous advantages for film-style production. Like the DigiPrime lenses, the new zoom has been engineered for optimum performance in low light situations with the aperture fully open. The Carl Zeiss design provides unsurpassed contrast control by minimizing flare, veiling glare, and internal reflections well below other lenses. It also offers superior relative illumination and high resolution over the entire screen edge-to-edge, throughout the focal range. Users will appreciate that the Zeiss DigiZoom does not ramp.

For exceptional color characteristics, Carl Zeiss carefully selects superior quality optical glass, then applies proprietary coatings. Naturally, Zeiss engineers have designed the 4X zoom to accurately color match and seamlessly intercut images made with the DigiPrime family.

Would you like to increase the focal length of the Zeiss 6mm-24mm T1.9 DigiZoom? By using the Fujinon HAeE14-1 extender, the Digi-Zoom can become 8.4 - 33.6mm (or 20 - 91mm in Super 35mm terms) at the cost of .75 stop. The HAeE14-1 is made to exacting optical specifications commensurate with the marquee HAe series Fujinon Cine lenses.
