Versatile Super 35 Cine Zoom
The DZOFILM Pictor Zoom 12-25mm T2.8 is a parfocal cine lens built for Super 35 sensors. Its 21 elements in 15 groups deliver exceptional clarity across the frame. Dual PL and Canon EF mount compatibility offers flexibility for professional filmmakers. The constant T2.8 aperture supports consistent exposure throughout the zoom range.
Robust Build for Professional Sets
Constructed from durable aluminium alloy, the lens withstands rigorous production demands. The optical design controls field curvature and distortion even at maximum aperture. A minimum focusing distance of .4 m (15.74") allows tight close-ups in confined spaces. This engineering ensures reliable performance during daily operation.
Consistent Performance Under Sustained Use
The parfocal design maintains focus while zooming, critical for continuous takes. Superior optical control manages aberrations during extended shooting sessions. The wide 12-25mm range expands spatial relationships between subjects and surroundings. This stability supports demanding cinematic workflows without interruption.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the Pictor Zoom 12-25mm T2.8 on a PL or EF camera, and which step causes the most issues?
Align the lens mount index with the camera’s red dot, rotate until it locks, then verify the flange distance by checking focus at both 12mm and 25mm; the step most often missed is confirming the lock pin fully seats before powering on.
What maintenance will the 21-element optical system need over time?
Clean the front and rear elements with a blower and microfiber cloth only; avoid liquids on the coated surfaces and store the lens capped in a dry case to protect the 15-group assembly from dust and humidity.
At what point does the T2.8 aperture limit exposure control during extended shooting?
The fixed T2.8 maximum aperture becomes the limiting factor when scene brightness requires a smaller aperture for depth of field or when ND filtration is unavailable, forcing reliance on shutter angle or ISO adjustments instead.
