DZOFilm Linglung 20–70mm T2.9 MFT metric is a parfocal cine zoom for Micro Four Thirds workflows covering wide to portrait angles without refocusing. Across the 20–70 mm range the T2.9 aperture stays constant, enabling consistent exposure and controlled depth of field, while a 12-blade iris produces natural, rounded highlights. The optical path covers a 21.6 mm image circle for full MFT sensors and maintains framing with near-zero focus breathing. Minimum focus is 0.79 m, useful for documentary, ENG and multi-camera streaming setups.
Mechanically, the lens provides long and repeatable control: 270° focus rotation with precision markings in meters, 100° zoom rotation and 72° iris rotation. Cine-standard 0.8 MOD gears on focus, zoom and iris integrate with follow-focus units, remote motors and FIZ controllers. A user-accessible back-focus adjustment enables accurate flange calibration at 19.2 mm (±0.3 mm) across different MFT camera tolerances, keeping the lens parfocal in demanding rigs. The front accepts 77 mm screw-in filters.
Optically the Linglung 20–70 mm uses 16 elements in 12 groups for sharpness across the frame and clean rendering. Parfocal behavior keeps the subject locked when punching in, which is valuable for live switching, studio talk shows and handheld work. The micro-contrast, consistent T-stop and minimal breathing make focus pulls clean on gimbals and sliders, avoiding frame drift.
For crews standardizing on the MFT system, this compact cinema zoom simplifies lens logistics on location. Its metric scale improves precision for focus pullers working from distance marks, and the constant T2.9 supports low-light interiors and neutral-density workflows outdoors. Pair the DZOFilm Linglung 20–70mm T2.9 MFT metric with BMPCC 4K, Panasonic MFT and Z CAM bodies to cover most narrative, commercial and streaming scenarios with one reliable, repeatable tool.
