Description — DZOFilm 24mm T2.8
The DZOFilm Gnosis 24mm T2.8 is a prime wide-angle macro cinema lens built for full-frame cinema and video camera systems. Featuring a PL Mount, it integrates into professional cinema rigs running industry-standard mount configurations. The T2.8 maximum aperture delivers consistent light transmission, and the manual focus operation puts precise control in the hands of a dedicated focus puller — a workflow staple on professional sets.
Weighing 1,250g, the lens has the physical presence expected of a cinema-grade prime, indicating a build quality suited to demanding production environments. Categorized as a macro lens in the wide-angle focal length range, it serves dual roles: expansive wide compositions and close-focus subject capture. With no image stabilization, it is best deployed on stabilized camera support systems.
The lens is designed for the Cinema / Video camera system category, underscoring its purpose-built nature for moving image production rather than hybrid stills use.
