DZOFILM Arles Zoom 25-75mm and 65-180mm T2.6 Full Frame Parfocal Cine Zoom 2-Lens Kit with Case for PL Mount — Full Frame cine zoom 2-lens kit covering 25-180mm with no gap in focal range, constant T2.6 across the kit, Parfocal, with Hard Case

DZOFILM Arles Zoom 2-Lens Kit is a set of 2 professional Full Frame cine zoom lenses, the Arles Zoom 25-75mm T2.6 and 65-180mm T2.6, covering wide-angle through long telephoto for a combined 25-180mm range. The key point is that the telephoto's 65mm end overlaps the wide zoom's 75mm end, so there is No Gap in focal range between the two lenses, and the overlap falls in the mid range used most often in documentary and interview work. Both lenses hold a constant T2.6 aperture throughout the zoom range, so you can swap lenses without compensating exposure. Both are Parfocal, holding focus while zooming, with very low Focus Breathing. The Four-Group Linkage optical system uses ED and HRI elements for Prime-level quality. Both cover a Ø43.5mm Image Circle and share a 16-blade iris, Ø95mm front diameter, M86 filter thread and matching M0.8 gear positions, so lenses can be changed quickly without moving the Matte Box or resetting the Follow Focus, even with lens motors attached. Weights are similar at around 1.77 and 1.78 kg, so the gimbal barely needs rebalancing. Supplied with a Hard Case for storage and transport

FAQ

• Q: Why do you say there is no gap in focal range?
  A: Because the telephoto's 65mm end overlaps the wide zoom's 75mm end, the pair covers 25-180mm continuously with no focal length missing, and the overlap is the mid range used most often in documentary and interview work
• Q: Why does Parfocal matter?
  A: Ordinary zoom lenses lose focus when zooming in or out and must be refocused every time, whereas 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 a cinema-grade zoom lens
• Q: How is a T-stop different from an F-stop?
  A: A T-stop measures the light that actually passes through the lens, accounting for losses from the glass elements and coatings, whereas an F-stop is a theoretical value. Cinema work uses T-stops so exposure matches across every lens in a set.
• Q: Can a PL mount lens be used on Mirrorless cameras?
  A: Yes, via the DZOFILM Octopus Adapter, which converts to Sony E, Leica L, Nikon Z, Canon RF, Fujifilm X and DJI DX. A user-swappable Canon EF conversion kit is also sold separately
• Q: How do I choose between Imperial and Metric?
  A: It is the unit on the focus ring scale. The lens is identical in every respect; only the numbers printed on the ring differ. Thai and European crews tend to prefer Metric (meters), while American crews prefer Imperial (feet). Choose whichever your focus puller is used to
• Q: Is it better value than buying separately?
  A: Yes. The kit costs less than buying the two lenses separately, and the Hard Case is included
