[16 lb] perfect did not see anthing wrong on this zoom

[T3.2] First I'll start by saying this is the first big boy lens I have owned. I've upgraded from using a BMPCC 4k with photographic lenses to an Ursa with this lens. I have zero experience with professional equipment but I fo have a very solid understanding of how to use a camera.

With that said this lens gives me far more capabilities than what I'm used to. The longer throw focus and better aperature across the whole focal length is day and night compared to photographic lenses but if you are in the market for something like this than you already know that.

The only thing I'll say bad about this lens is its ability to hold focus. It comes with PL mount out of the box and the hardware for an EF. I had it swapped to EF by a local professional camera retailer. Its my first parafocal lens. I expected it to hold perfect focus throughout its zoom range especially since the flange was swapped by a professional AND I gave them my camera to make sure everything was tip top. From my eye it seems the focus shifts slightly. Focusing a subject at full zoom then pulling out seems to pull the focus a bit. This is also reflected by focus assist/peaking. It is minuscule though and difficult to perceive unless looking for it. For me it's an incredibly useful lens. The price compared to other lenses is what sold me. Hope this was helpful to someone!

[16 lb] Bought this and the 20-55 for a few jobs where they will be paired with some Zeiss Superspeed primes. On FX9 they cover up to 5K (about 1.2 crop) easily.

They are nice par-focal cinema zooms. They have a pleasant look that is reminiscent of older lenses but they are for sure not 'old' in any way. Modern coating control flaring excellently. They will let a highlight bloom a bit but never ghost the whole frame and wash out your blacks. Very very sharp when in focus but do an interesting thing where it is easy to tell where the focal plane ends and the out of focus begins. Like the micro contrast just melts away. A wonderful set.

I have owned the Fujinon MK zooms for a long time so I thought this set might be a duplicate. Not at all. They are on opposite ends of the high end glass spectrum. Fujinons are clean and sharp and clear. The DZOfilm lenses are full of character and texture but also sharp. Hard to put into words but it is very nice.

[ARRI PL] WITH THIS SIRUI 28 85MM SHOOTING DOWN WOODWARD AVE FROM

I SAID TO MYSELF, THIS LENS IS LIKE FLOATING ON WATER WITH
THE SMOOTH LOOK I GOT WITH THE COLORFUL BEAUTIFUL OF
THE MOTOR CITY IT WAS A MOTOWN HIT I GOT WIYH MY SIRUI JUPITER T3.2 FF MARCO CINE. CLYDE BROOKS

[T3.2] Bought this to round out my Angenieux EZ-1 and EZ-2 kit. For a lens this price, it's shockingly good, though I did have one issue. The PL mount's flanges were too thin on mine, making the lens loose in my Ursa Mini Pro. Sent an email to customer support and got the sense I was direct with their operations in China, which worked well as they had me send some measurements of this lens vs. my Angenieuxs and had a new mount out to me within a couple weeks. The new mount is great!

Mechanics are extremely smooth — the zoom is much nicer than on the EZs. It's sharp enough from wide open, which is not the case with a lot of this new crop of inexpensive cinema zooms. The lens does have a bit of focus breathing. Nothing I'm too worried about for this focal length though.

Overall it's just extremely good and there's not much competition till you get to 10x the price.

[T3.2] I have the
Pictor zoom set

I normally use them for my documentary projects . And one good advantage they have is the interchangeable mount. They can be used on both PL and EF mount cameras,they are kinda future proof .
One good thing about them too is that they are parfocal meaning if im shooting wide and decide to change my image size by zooming in I dont have to readjust my focus. Pretty good lenses yeah!

[16 lb] I purchased both the Pictor lenses and used them on a day 10 commercial shoot and they were just great. I used them on my RED Ranger with Gemini sensor and the images were stunning to say the least. Theres nothing even close to these in this price range as these really can play up there with the must pricier lenses. I rent a lot of glass and always will because not one lens is right for every project but I do know this was a great purchase and these lenses are amazing!!!!

[T3.2] We bought this for documentary work to use on a Blackmagic Pocket 6K camera and Ursa Mini Pro. This is a SOLID lens with attributes you'd expect in something twice or three times the price! No breathing. Sharp at 2.8. The parfocal advantage is huge at this price point. The bokeh is very pleasing, and a little arty which we love. The box includes shims and a PL mount (!). Overall highly recommended!

[3.5x] I am a huge fan of this lens for field docu work. Great all around piece of glass for wildlife and longer lens applications while retaining a lightweight kit one person can carry tripod and sticks.

[46.0 mm] It has some shortcomings!
But overall is a quality item.
