Product Information

Full details

The DZOFILM Pictor Lens Bundle A is designed for filmmakers and videographers seeking versatile, high-quality zoom lenses. Its key benefit is the combination of two parfocal cinema zooms (20-55mm T2.8 and 50-125mm T2.8) that maintain focus while zooming, offering exceptional convenience for complex or fast-paced shooting. A potential caveat is its Super 35 coverage, which may require consideration for full-frame sensor cameras.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of a parfocal lens?

A parfocal lens maintains focus as you zoom in or out. This means you can change your focal length without losing sharpness on your subject, which is crucial for dynamic shots and efficient shooting.

What does 'focus breathing' mean and why is it minimized in these lenses?

Focus breathing is the apparent change in field of view when adjusting focus. Minimizing it means the image frame doesn't visibly 'breathe' or expand/contract during focus pulls, resulting in a more professional and less distracting image.

Can these lenses be used on full-frame cameras?

These lenses are designed for Super 35 sensors. While they can be mounted on full-frame cameras (with the appropriate mount adapter), they will exhibit significant vignetting. For full-frame use, you would typically need to shoot in a crop mode or accept heavy cropping in post-production.

What is the difference between the 20-55mm and 50-125mm lenses in the bundle?

The 20-55mm lens covers a wide-angle to a standard zoom range, ideal for establishing shots and general coverage. The 50-125mm lens covers a standard to a telephoto range, perfect for tighter shots, portraits, and bringing distant subjects closer.

How do I switch between PL and EF mounts?

The mount is designed to be user-interchangeable. Typically, this involves unscrewing the current mount while supporting the lens, and then screwing on the desired mount until it is secure. Refer to the product manual for detailed instructions.

What kind of bokeh can I expect from these lenses?

The lenses feature a 16-blade iris designed to produce a soft, pleasing bokeh. This creates smooth transitions between the in-focus and out-of-focus areas of the image, enhancing subject separation and adding a cinematic quality.

Troubleshooting

Lens not communicating with camera (EF Mount)

Ensure the EF mount is securely attached. Check camera body contacts for dirt and clean if necessary. Try a different camera body if possible.

Focus ring is stiff or loose

This may require professional servicing. Do not attempt to force the ring. Contact DZOFILM support or a qualified repair technician.

Zoom ring is not smooth

Check for any obstructions around the zoom mechanism. Ensure the lens is clean and dry. Extreme temperatures can sometimes affect performance; allow the lens to acclimate.

Image appears vignetted

Confirm you are using the lens on a Super 35 camera or smaller sensor. If using on a full-frame camera, ensure the camera is set to its Super 35 crop mode. Vignetting is expected on larger sensors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Maintains focus while zooming (parfocal)
  • Reduces focus breathing for smoother shots
  • Offers two essential zoom ranges in one bundle
  • Consistent T2.8 aperture for low-light performance
  • Versatile with interchangeable PL and EF mounts
  • Produces pleasing bokeh and organic image quality

Cons

  • Super 35 coverage may not fully cover larger sensors
  • Bundle price may be a consideration for some users
  • White color may show dirt more easily than darker variants

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Select the appropriate mount (PL or EF) and securely attach it to the lens.
  2. Camera Attachment: Align the lens mount with your camera's mount and rotate until it locks into place.
  3. Operation: Familiarize yourself with the zoom and focus rings. Ensure the lens is set to the desired focal length and focus before shooting.

Compatibility:

  • The bundle includes interchangeable PL and EF mounts, making it compatible with a wide range of cinema cameras that support these mounts.
  • Note that the lenses are designed for Super 35 sensors. On full-frame cameras, there will be a significant vignette, requiring the camera to operate in crop mode or for post-production correction.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to clean the lens elements. For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth, not directly on the lens.
  • Storage: Store the lenses in the provided safety case when not in use to protect them from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
  • Handling: Avoid touching the lens elements with your fingers. Always handle lenses by their barrels.
