ZEISS Super Speeds Mk3 T*

ZEISS SUPER SPEEDS Mk3 T* Series

This is a rare Zeiss MK3 T1.3 Super Speed Set in PL-mount. All primes (9.5mm, 12mm, 16mm, 25mm, 50mm) are multicoated T*.  They cover Super16mm, SI-2K (Slumdog Millionaire, 8 Oscars), RED ONE at 2K. A very nice Peli case with all front and rear caps is included.

The Mk. III version have a gear on the iris ring and a different focus helix thread that allows rotation of nearly a full turn. Mk. III focus scales are slightly larger in diameter than Mk II and are marked in feet or meter exclusively. The focus gear is 80.8mm diameter. The focus marks are larger and have witness lines engraved underneath to show exactly where each distance is calibrated. The marks are oriented at 90º to the lens mount instead of on the axis of the lens. 

Although there is more room on the Mk III scale ring due to the longer rotation, the larger size of the marks means that there are less marks near infinity.

Other than the gear on the iris and the new focus scale ring, and a different helix thread pitch, the Mk. III are identical optically and mechanically to the Mk. II.
