Lens Overview — CHIOPT 28-85mm T3.2

The CHIOPT XTREME 28-85mm T3.2 is a manual-focus cinema zoom lens built for the Super 35 format and designed around the PL Mount, making it a natural fit for professional cinema camera systems. Covering a versatile focal length range from 28mm to 85mm, it spans wide-angle through short telephoto territory — a range well-suited to documentary, narrative, and commercial production work where a single lens can handle a variety of setups without swapping glass. The lens operates at a constant maximum aperture of T3.2 throughout its zoom range, giving cinematographers consistent exposure as they adjust focal length.

At 2,721.6g, this is a substantial piece of glass, characteristic of cinema zoom lenses built to accommodate follow-focus systems, lens motors, and other cinema accessories. The 52mm filter thread provides a standard point of attachment for filtration. Image stabilization is not included, which is typical for a PL-mount cinema lens intended for use on rigged camera systems.

Focus is entirely manual, as expected in a professional cinema context where precise, repeatable focus pulls are a standard part of the workflow. The XTREME zoom is a considered option for Super 35 PL-mount productions seeking a single versatile zoom covering this focal length range.
