DZOFilm Catta Ace Zoom 2-Lens Kit (18-35/70-135 T2.9) Black PL & EF Mount (VV/FF)

DZOFilm Catta Ace Zoom 2-Lens Kit (18-35/70-135 T2.9) Black PL & EF Mount (VV/FF) brings a matched pair of full-frame cine zooms that maintain consistent exposure and focus tracking across their ranges. The 18-35 mm T2.9 covers a 43.5 mm image circle, while the 70-135 mm T2.9 covers 46.5 mm, meeting VistaVision and full-frame sensor requirements. Both lenses are parfocal with very low focus breathing, allowing precise focus pulls and zooms without image shift. A 16-blade iris yields round highlights and smooth defocus transitions for controlled bokeh in studio or location work.

Mechanically, the Catta Ace pair follows cine standards. Each lens offers 0.8 MOD gear rings on focus, iris and zoom, a 270° focus throw for accurate marks, a 100° zoom throw for repeatable framing, and an iris rotation of 75–80°. Front fits standard clip-on matte boxes and common screw-in filters for fast matte-box changes. Close focus is 0.51 m on the 18-35 mm and 0.76 m on the 70-135 mm, enabling tight compositions. The optical layouts—20 elements in 14/15 groups and 17 elements in 11 groups—balance contrast, flare control and lateral chromatic aberration for consistent rendering across both focal ranges.

Mount flexibility is integral. The lenses ship in PL with EF bayonet kits included, plus shim sets to nail flange depth on VV/FF bodies. A hard-shell case, support bases and 15 mm rods provide quick packing and rigging. Together the 18-35 and 70-135 span essential wide-to-telephoto coverage with a constant T2.9, ideal for multi-camera television, live streaming, documentary, branded content and narrative where exposure continuity, color matching and robust mechanics are non-negotiable.

For crews standardizing on PL while keeping EF as a secondary mount, this kit delivers a compact footprint, predictable handling and full-frame coverage. Supports PL/EF ecosystems and remote focus.
