High-quality cine build with geared focus and zoom rings
Sixteen-blade aperture diaphragm

Versatile Parfocal Cine Zoom. The DZOFilm Pictor 20-55mm T2.8 Parfocal Zoom provides a fairly broad range of focal lengths that makes it a versatile cine lens, particularly for run-and-gun documentary-style shooting. Its sixteen-blade aperture produces round, extremely pleasing bokeh, and its parfocal design means it holds focus throughout its zoom range. Its internal-focusing floating-elements construction all but eliminates focus breathing.

Cinema Design. The 20-55mm T2.8’s aperture and focusing rings boast standard 0.8 mod gears so that you can easily install a follow-focus system. Its 95mm front diameter lets you use standard matte boxes, and there’s an 86mm filter thread to boot. The included lens-support foot helps reduce strain on your camera’s lens port by using the lens with rods.

Please Note: This rental includes an attached 3/8-16" threaded support foot, but we recommend you provide additional support by using using a Wooden Camera 15mm Universal Lens Support in conjunction with a baseplate and rail system. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Q & A

Does this rental include the screw-in zoom lever?

This rental doesn’t include the screw-in zoom lever. If you’d like it, please request it in the Special Instructions box during checkout.

Is this lens compatible with PL-mount optical extenders?

No. This lens’s mount baffle extends too far to be compatible with most PL-mount adapters that feature optical elements.
In our testing this lens will not work with the Atlas 1.6x LF Extender, IB/E Optics PLx2 Optical Extender 2x, or the IB/E Optics PLx1.4 Mark II Optical Extender 1.4×. If you have specific compatibility concerns, please contact us.

Should I use additional support with this lens?

We recommend using a rail support system and lens support. We have provided links to our universal baseplates in the “recommended” column, however, we also carry camera specific kits. Those can be found in the “recommended” column on the right side of the page. When in doubt, please contact us.
