DZOFilm Pictor 20-55mm T2.8 Zoom Lens (PL & EF)

Excellent condition, barely used. Comes with PL & EF mounts, caps, shims, mount support & original packaging. Prefect for any Super 35 cinema camera, such as RED Komodo/Raptor/Gemini, Arri Alexa35/Amira, Canon C300/C200//C70, Blackmagic URSA/Pocket, Sony FX30 and more

A parfocal cine lens, the DZO Pictor 20 to 55mm T2.8 Super35 Parfocal Zoom Lens features a relatively fast maximum aperture of T2.8 with an aperture range of T2.8 to T22. As you would expect from a cinema-style zoom, the lens is parfocal, meaning it holds focus throughout the zoom range. The internal focus design with floating elements virtually eliminates focus breathing. It covers a Super35 image circle, comes standard with an interchangeable PL mount, and includes an EF mount.

The 16-blade iris creates round out-of-focus highlights, which have a more natural appearance and contribute to the lens's natural-looking bokeh. The lens features cine-style gear rings on the focus, iris, and zoom lens rings, making it compatible with cine-style lens accessories such as follow focus units, lens motors, and lens control systems. The 95mm outer front diameter allows you to use a variety of compatible third-party matte boxes, and the lens has an 86mm filter thread. A lens support foot allows you to support the lens on rods to help reduce strain on your camera's lens port.
