This is a pic of a prototype Zeiss SLR/Cine lens. The lenses will come with Canon EF mounts, but the lens mount itself can be swapped out for a PL mount for use on RED cams and film cams!
This is huge news for the current crop of 5D/7D filmmakers who are also using or renting RED cameras. This is also great news for filmmakers using 35mm DOF rigs like Letus and PS Technik, hooray for easier follow focus!
here are the pre-release specs:
ZEISS Compact Prime II
* covers a full frame, 24x36 sensor
* lenses will be available in both EF and PL mount versions
* interchangeable mount system allows for easy upgrade
* cine style ergonomics
* manual focus with well damped resistance
* barrel dimensions are identical and lenses feature internal focusing
* each lens weighs between 2.0 - 2.2 pounds
* support bracket is included for additional lens stability
* 300 degree focus rotation
* 14-blade aperture
* geared for standard follow-focus
* calibrated focus scales
* 8 focal lengths available from 18mm - 85mm
* estimated list price for a set of 6 lenses is under $20K. Lenses will also be sold in a Custom 3 Lens Set or individually.

these should be on the floor at NAB.
