DZOFilm DZO 20-70mm T2.9 MFT Parfocal Cine Lens

I started on my video journey in Canon land, then when I realized how handcuffed their mirrorless offerings were, I transitioned to Lumix, and it was a great choice for me at the time. My first piece of glass that I was really happy with was Sigma's 18-35 zoom coupled with the Metabones adapter. I still like it. I didn't like re-focusing at different zoom levels at all. With the GH5S, I have almost always followed a full manual workflow, so when I added this DZO film manual zoom, there was no adjustment for me. I only saw benefits. The benefits to me are as follows in no particular order: Parfocal-how friXXen awesome is this! No Focus breathing, OMG a life changer! Probably the best part. A beautiful rendition of the color palette. A little softer than the Lumix photo lenses, but in a good way. It makes everything look more cinematographic. If your lighting is solid and your white balance locked in, you are going to get great results. I love how this lens looks, how it doesn't get in my way, and if I do a great job with my lighting, it rewards me greatly. (as always, it all starts with light!). This lens makes my job easier and makes me look good. What else is there to say?

Great lens. Beautiful image. Nice and soft. Looks fantastic with my GH 5. Well built. For that price it's absolutely incredible. Sylvestre Guidi Montreal

This lens is perfect for budget narrative filmmaking covering the common focal lengths you'll need 95% of the time. Build quality is impressive. Iris, zoom, focus are smooth. Some edge softness, but minimal breathing and very good parfocal performance. Mated with my JVC LS300, this is an incredible value and unbeatable combination.

Das ist ein ordentliches, gut verarbeitetes Cine-Zoom. Nicht berzogen scharfe Bilder. Eben cinemig. Der Nahabstand von 79cm ist bichen knapp. Die Lieferung nach Europa war schnell und problemlos.

Like all other reviews! It's a great lens! I the ParFocal feature is amazing and the zoom is internal it makes it perfect for shooting with a gimble! You'll not need readjust your gimble every time you zoom in & out.

The image is not too sharp and the bokeh is excellent. Chromatic aberration is a little high. Build quality is very impressive. The adjustable flange back is an essential feature for a lens to be used on a micro 4/3 mount from a different manufacturer. It's also great to be able to fine parforcal adjustment with this. It's an elegant image quality, and I love it for creating cinematic works of art.
