DZOFilm Tango Zoom 65–280mm T2.9–4 (S35) PL & EF Mount gives crews extended reach for Super 35 while holding focus through the zoom. The 4.31× zoom spans 65–280 mm with a practical T2.9–4 aperture ramp that keeps exposure workable during tele sweeps and mid-shot reframes. A 16-blade aperture renders circular highlights and smooth fall-off, and the optical path tempers lateral chroma and veiling flare to keep contrast intact in harsh backlight.
The system is parfocal with minimal breathing, so framing stays steady through pulls and punch-ins. Coverage fits a φ31.5 mm image circle for S35 sensors, and the close-focus point reaches 1.1 m for tight product shots and detail inserts. Focus, iris and zoom use standard 0.8-mod gears with uniform ring spacing; mechanics deliver a precise 270° focus rotation, a responsive 100° zoom throw and a controlled 73.5° iris sweep for repeatable moves.
Interchangeable PL and EF mounts allow rapid swaps between cine and broadcast bodies. Fluorescent metric markings stay legible under low worklights, and an integrated back-focus adjustment enables quick sensor-plane tuning after travel. The Tango optical palette tracks neutral skin tones and consistent colorimetry with the 18–90 mm sibling. For remote work, the optional MOVCAM servo adds ENG-style F/I/Z control. Uniform ring spacing speeds swaps on rigs and gimbals, and mechanics mate with follow-focus motors easily.
Built for demanding sets, the DZOFilm Tango Zoom 65–280mm T2.9–4 unites reach, speed and mechanical discipline in a compact S35 package. Expect restrained distortion, high micro-contrast and robust focus stability when racking the range, plus reliable back-focus retention after temperature shifts. From courtside replays and concerts to talk-show long lens and narrative tele coverage, this zoom suits multi-camera switchers and single-camera builds alike.
