CHIOPT XTREME ZOOM MF 16-35mm T3.2 Full Frame Parfocal Cine Zoom Lens (3 Mounts)

CHIOPT XTREME ZOOM MF 16-35mm T3.2 Full Frame Parfocal Cine Zoom Lens (3 Mounts) — Wide-Angle 16-35mm Cine Zoom with Constant T3.2, Parfocal, Full Frame + S35, User-Swappable PL/EF/E Mounts

The CHIOPT XTREME ZOOM MF 16-35mm T3.2 is a cinema zoom lens that covers Full Frame and Super 35 sensors with a ⌀46mm image circle. The 16-35mm range spans ultra-wide to standard wide angle, ideal for establishing shots, big scenes, architecture and tight spaces where you can't step back. It has a 2.18x zoom ratio and a minimum focus distance of 0.34 m from the front of the lens, letting you get very close to subjects for a wide lens. The constant T3.2 aperture across the zoom range lets you change focal length without exposure shifts. The Parfocal design holds focus while zooming in and out, and focus breathing is kept very low, so the frame doesn't grow or shrink when racking focus, making editing easier. Mounts are user-swappable between PL, Canon EF and Sony E with high-strength stainless steel mounts, so you can move to another camera system without buying a new lens. The focus ring rotates 288° with a standard 0.8 MOD gear, ready for a follow focus right away. The focus scale is marked in meters on the left and feet on the right, ready for international crews. The 114mm front diameter is the same across the set, so you can swap lenses without readjusting the Matte Box or donut. The all-metal body is sealed against dust and splashes, with housing gaps filled with special material, and back focus is user-adjustable with multiple shim sizes included.

FAQ

• Q: Why does Parfocal matter?
  A: Typical zoom lenses lose focus when you zoom in or out, so you have to refocus every time. A Parfocal lens holds focus throughout the zoom range, so you can zoom during a take without the image going soft. It is an essential feature of cinema-grade zoom lenses.
• Q: Do I need to choose a mount when ordering?
  A: No. PL, Canon EF and Sony E mounts are all included, and the stainless steel mounts are user-swappable, so you can move to another camera system without buying a new lens.
• Q: Is adjusting back focus difficult?
  A: Not at all. Multiple shim sizes are included for setting the flange distance after a mount change or when infinity focus is off. We recommend checking back focus every time you change mounts.
• Q: Is it worth buying the full set?
  A: All 3 share matched color rendering and mechanics, the same 114mm front diameter and 0.8 MOD gears in the same position, so you can swap lenses without moving the Matte Box or resetting the follow focus. For full-scale production work, the set is better value than a single lens.
