Wide and long, with nothing in between: the DZOFilm Catta Ace Zoom 2-Lens Kit (18-35/70-135 T2.9) Black PL & EF Mount pairs the outer two Catta Ace zooms and leaves 35–70 mm to camera placement. That split suits a two-camera crew, one operator roaming wide, the other locked off long. The 18-35 projects a 43.5 mm circle, enough for full frame, while the 70-135 reaches 46.5 mm and also covers VistaVision. Blackmagic's PYXIS 6K, sold in PL and EF versions, has a 36 × 24 mm sensor (43.3 mm diagonal) that sits inside both.
At a streamed fight night, a riser camera 15 m from the ring centre frames about 7.7 m at 70 mm, ropes and corners in shot; at 135 mm the shot narrows to roughly 4 m, two boxers head to toe. These parfocal cine zooms hold focus through that push-in mid-round, and with a constant T2.9 the exposure does not shift between the two ends. The 18-35, meanwhile, follows the ring walk through the crowd. Breathing is held low: rack from a fighter on his stool to the trainer leaning in, and the framing barely grows or shrinks. A 16-blade iris keeps the defocused lighting grid above the ring smoothly circular. Backstage, at 0.51 m from the sensor and 35 mm, DZOFilm's manual gives 0.118x: hands being wrapped fill a frame about 30 cm across.
The two barrels handle the same way. Focus turns 270° and zoom 100°, the iris 77° or 80°, all on 0.8 MOD gears in matching positions, and wireless FIZ motors keep their bracket settings for either lens. An 80 mm front takes clamp-on matte boxes, an M77 thread screw-in filters. Inside the aluminium-alloy housings, the 18-35 counts 20 elements in 14 groups, including four ED lenses and an asphere; the 70-135 uses 17 in 11. Neither lens has electronic contacts.
Each zoom arrives with its PL mount fitted; EF bayonets, shims and a screwdriver are supplied, so the change happens in-house, and an LPL bayonet is optional. Support bases with rods, caps and a hard case. In budget terms, the two positions most live events need are covered from day one, and the third purchase stays optional.
