DZOFilm Pictor 50 to 125mm T2.8 Super35 Parfocal Zoom Lens (EF Mount)

Includes: Pictor 50-125mm Lens

More

INCLUDES
  • Pictor 50-125mm Lens

OWNER NOTES

A parfocal cine lens, the DZO Pictor 50 to 125mm T2.8 Super35 Parfocal Zoom Lens features a relatively fast maximum aperture of T2.8 with an aperture range of T2.8 to T22. As you would expect from a cinema-style zoom, the lens is parfocal, meaning it holds focus throughout the zoom range. The internal focus design with floating elements virtually eliminates focus breathing. It covers a Super35 image circle, comes standard with an interchangeable PL mount, and includes a Canon EF mount.

The 16-blade iris creates round out-of-focus highlights, which have a more natural appearance and contribute to the lens's natural-looking bokeh. The lens features cine-style gear rings on the focus, iris, and zoom lens rings, making it compatible with cine-style lens accessories such as follow focus units, lens motors, and lens control systems. The 95mm outer front diameter allows you to use a variety of compatible third-party matte boxes, and the lens has an 86mm filter thread. A lens support foot allows you to support the lens on rods to help reduce strain on your camera's lens port.

Includes: Pictor 20-55mm Lens, Pictor 50-125mm Lens, Hard Case

More

INCLUDES
  • Pictor 20-55mm Lens
  • Pictor 50-125mm Lens

OWNER NOTES

This bundle of the Pictor 20-55mm and 50-125mm T2.8 Super35 Zoom Lens from DZO consists of two lenses with a standard black finish, making them less likely to be seen in on-set reflections. The lenses provide coverage of an extended zoom range with a relatively fast maximum aperture. Both cover Super35 sensors and have similar lengths, weight, lens gear positions, and front outer diameter, making for fast lens swaps.

Each lens comes standard with a PL mount and includes a Canon EF Mount, for compatibility with a wide range of digital cinema cameras. The lenses hold focus throughout the focal length range and feature matching 16-blade irises for producing round out-of-focus highlights. This bundle includes a durable protective case for transport and storage.

This was my first experience using Kitsplit, and it couldn't have been better! Bart is supremely responsive, knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. He helped me troubleshoot some issues I was having with kitsplit's site right off the bat, and even took a substantial amount of time to help me get the footage onto my harddrive when I was having trouble with it after the shoot. The camera was in perfect condition and came with everything we needed. I had never worked with this camera before, so Bart gave us a thorough walk through when we picked it up. I was impressed by how user friendly this camera is, and how lovely the footage turned out on our run & gun documentary shoot. (A shoot that required us to find the ursa mini at an affordable rate on super short notice, and that could not have happened without Bart's responsiveness and help.) Bart is a warm person who's passionate about what he does, and I will definitely be renting from him in the future. Many thanks again, Bart! 🙏
