Description — DZOFilm 50-125mm T2.8
The DZOFilm Pictor 50-125mm T2.8 is a professional cinema zoom lens built for Super 35 format cameras with a PL mount interface. Its constant T2.8 aperture across the 50–125mm focal length range ensures consistent exposure when zooming during a shot — a critical requirement in professional production environments. The lens is classified under the Telephoto focal length range and is designed exclusively for Cinema / Video camera systems.
Focus is entirely manual, with no autofocus capability, which aligns with standard cinema production workflows where dedicated focus pullers manage critical focus with precision. There is no image stabilization, so stabilization must be handled at the rig, gimbal, or camera level. The 86mm front filter thread provides compatibility with standard cine filtration systems.
At 1,700g, this lens has the build weight of a serious professional tool and should be paired with an appropriate support rig. For cinematographers working on Super 35 cinema cameras requiring a fast, reliable telephoto zoom, the Pictor 50-125mm T2.8 covers a highly practical range in a professional PL-mount package.
