DZOFilm Catta Zoom 35-80mm T2.9 White Sony E Mount (FF)

The DZOFilm Catta Zoom 35–80mm T2.9 White (Sony E-mount, Full Frame) is a pro cine zoom lens for crews that require repeatable mechanics and stable optical behavior. Covering a full-frame sensor with a 43.5 mm image circle, it maintains a constant T2.9 for consistent exposure and depth of field on larger sensors. Focus stays locked while reframing—true parfocal performance—so crash zooms and slow creeps keep the plane intact.

Mechanically it supports disciplined pulling. You get 0.8 MOD cine gears on focus, iris and zoom, extended throws of 270° focus, 100° zoom and 75° iris, plus refined damping for follow-focus units, motors and gimbal drives. Close-ups are practical: the lens reaches a 0.74 m (2 ft 5 in) minimum focus distance. A circular 16-blade iris produces round bokeh with smooth highlight edges and gentle roll-off.

Imaging is neutral and production-friendly, with controlled CA and minimal focus breathing to keep framing steady during pulls. The 2.3× zoom ratio covers core field work—establishing frames at 35 mm to tight portraits at 80 mm—reducing lens swaps when time is limited. The front uses an M77 filter thread for ND and diffusion stacks. The native Sony E-mount accepts optional RF/L/X/Z bayonets, supporting shared kits across multiple camera bodies. Aperture is T2.9–T22 with a linear, repeatable response. No electronic contacts—operation stays fully manual. Gears use the 0.8 MOD 32-pitch for universal accessories.

Color, contrast and mechanics match the 70–135 mm T2.9 sibling, enabling seamless intercutting on multi-camera shoots. For documentary, broadcast magazines, studio talk shows, streaming multicam and narrative handheld, the DZOFilm Catta Zoom 35–80mm T2.9 delivers predictable handling, stable exposure, and reliable marks. It brings parfocal accuracy, full-frame coverage and a constant T2.9 in a compact package ready for professional pipelines.
