DZOFILM Tango 65-280mm T2.9-4 S35 PL & EF camcorder lens feet

Versatile focal range for S35 cinematography

The DZOFILM Tango 65-280mm T2.9-4 zoom covers moderate wide-angle through powerful telephoto on Super 35 sensors. It is built for filmmakers who need a single lens to handle expansive landscapes and nuanced close-ups without changing glass. The PL and Canon EF mounts fit common cinema and DSLR cinema bodies. This is not for shooters who require a wider start than 65mm or a faster maximum aperture than T2.9.

Consistent exposure through the zoom

The variable aperture shifts from T2.9 at 65mm to T4 at 280mm across the 4.3x range. Iris adjustments are smooth thanks to the 16-blade diaphragm, which also renders round, pleasing bokeh at every focal length. Colour fidelity holds steady throughout the zoom, so exposure and look remain predictable during a take. The design serves sustained narrative shooting rather than brief burst work.

PL and EF mount flexibility

Dual PL and Canon EF compatibility lets the lens move between dedicated cinema cameras and EF-mount bodies without adapters. Coverage is matched to the Super 35 image circle, so vignetting stays controlled across the 65-280mm span. The variable T-stop means light transmission drops at the long end, a factor to plan for in dim conditions. No electronic contacts are mentioned, so metadata and autofocus are not supported.
