Lens Overview — DZOFilm Catta FF Cine Lens Trio

The DZOFilm Catta FF Cine Zoom Lens Trio is a matched set of three full-frame cinema zoom lenses designed for the PL Mount camera system. Covering a combined focal length range from 18mm to 135mm, the trio provides broad coverage across wide, standard, and short telephoto focal lengths, making it a practical all-in-one solution for narrative and documentary cinematographers who need consistent optical characteristics across multiple focal ranges. Each lens in the set shares a maximum aperture of T2.9, ensuring a uniform exposure value when cutting between lenses — a critical advantage in professional production environments where intercutting footage from different focal lengths is common.

All three lenses are manual focus, which aligns with standard cinema workflow expectations and allows for precise, repeatable focus pulls. The lenses are built around a full-frame image circle, making them suitable for large-format and full-frame cinema cameras. A shared 77mm filter thread across the set simplifies filter management on set, allowing a single set of filters to be used across all three lenses without adapters.

The entire trio weighs 1.54kg combined, reflecting a balance between robust cinema build quality and practical portability. With no image stabilization, these lenses rely on camera rigs or stable mounting for steady footage, which is typical for cine-class optics in this category.

Description — DZOFilm Catta FF Cine Lens Trio

The DZOFilm Catta FF Cine Zoom Lens Trio brings together three matched cinema zoom lenses under a single PL Mount system, covering focal lengths from 18mm to 135mm across the set. Each lens in the trio shares a maximum aperture of T2.9, providing consistent exposure values when intercutting between focal length ranges — an essential characteristic for professional production workflows. Designed for full-frame image circles, the lenses are compatible with full-frame and large-format cinema cameras using the PL Mount standard.

Focus is entirely manual, which suits the precision demands of cinema productions relying on dedicated focus pullers. A unified 77mm filter thread across all three lenses simplifies filter management on set, reducing the need for step-up rings or redundant filter sets. The complete trio weighs 1.54kg, balancing a solid cinema-grade build with manageable portability.

There is no image stabilization, so stable rigging or support systems are recommended for smooth results. The Catta FF Trio is positioned as a cohesive zoom system for cinematographers seeking consistent optical character from wide to short telephoto across a matched lens family.
