During the cinema5D Virtual Show, we had the chance to talk with the director and cinematographer Phil Holland about the new DZOFILM 20-55mm and 50-125mm T/2.8 Pictor Zoom lenses. These lenses can cover Super35/APS-C sensors, and Phil has been using them in conjunction with the RED Komodo for a couple of weeks now.

@philholland he is always honest and sincere about the products he tries. I will receive my kit of these lenses very soon and I think they are an excellent product

[@Behnam_Moghaddam]

very intriguing! hope to see a comparison to the fujinon zooms - the obvious competitor - soon and now am looking forward to learn more about the upcoming cinema5d stuff - the blackmagic cameras that will be announced today for example :)

[@davidcoursey5041]

his is a most excellent interview. Thanks.

[@cagefanatic]

Thank you, I've been wanting to know more about these lenses.

[@BaddFrogg777]

Excellent and thorough review. Now with NIKON purchasing RED. Definitley auto focus cine lenses coming soon. Exciting times for story tellers and film makers. Can't wait to see the YELLOW NIKOMODO X. Greater quality, lower prices and better options.

[@Photographicelements]

Thanks Nino! Great cine zooms! Parfocal? at that price point? I’m sold. I wonder how they look on a 12k camera, hint, hint...

[@daviddn5631]

these are cool! I feel they still take about the same space as a set of vintage cine mod lenses in your case, and those will have the advantage of weight for G&R situations. Sure for in field docs is cool to be able to change length but aside from that I think that is only cool if you are into zooms lenses, because for artistic zooms 50 to 125 is not long enough.

[@woolenwoods665]

where can I find the mtf charts or lab test of these two lenses...

[@Thedudemannn]

So if I get a follow focus, this lens would be better than say a prime lens ? I’m new to the lens game and I don’t know much about these, are they worth it?

[@drsftw741]

With no image stabilization, how are these handheld with the pocket 6k? (Which has no ibis)

[@photographer-at-large9795]

@philholland what are those desk lamps?

[@DeanHarringtonimages]

I wonder if these lenses will resolve the Blackmagic 12K camera?

[@gerardocamposfilms]

how this one goes against the Tokina Zoom Cinema lenses?? thanks

[@Dwayne_M]

What lights are in the back ground ?

[@felipevece]

will be cool autofocus with the servo motor to get a way to comunicate the camera with the servo motor

[@sytesmedia504]

does this camera work with solid pod cfast 2.0 to ssd adapter

[@FOBulous976]

Curious to see how they compare with the Sigma cinema zooms.

[@michael_dalessandro_lena]

The 50-100 Sigma has terrible focus breathing. The Sigmas are also much sharper and feel much more sterile in my opinion,... perhaps better suited for docs.

[@rickyang9930]

Just watched some reviews, and the only issue for this zoom is the distortion.

[@0800filmez]

Nice. What mattebox is that?

[@kaushikfilms1922]

I want to purchase Red Komodo for feature film. Please suggest me to best all lens kit for best result. Which Company you suggest budget oriented lens for feature film?

[@GeoZero]

how do did you get an orange Komodo???

[@NoSuRReNDeR001]

Should be full coverage on my Gemini? yes?

[@LorenzoYearby]

Might be a silly question, but how do they compare image-wise to Rokinon Cine DS lenses?

[@marshallandroxy]

Having used both - the Rokinon are not even close.

[@mardefondostudioyt]

how about your experience with komodo? about Image quality!!! a lot of haters out there, please advice me.

[@ulrichmors574]

AF for Cine Lenses should be hybrid. The camera can face detect, measure/find focus point (phase AF etc.), why not calibrate that to an external motor and have a "user preset" in the camera for the lens. But that needs support from camera manufacturers...

[@maxsaltin1001]

YES WHERE IS THE BLACKMAGIC 12K CAMERA VIDEO CINEMA5D

[@montymurray8602]

8:00 think he's talking about Lidar

[@docbenway0]

I think the actual product is the Preston Light Ranger 2-- www.abelcine.com/buy/lenses-accessories/follow-focus/preston-cinema-light-ranger-2-with-video-interface-unit-and-serial-cable

[@tiedtkeio]

I did a video review of these lenses with 4K sample footage over my channel. (Hint: they're awesome) 😊✌️

[@andrecruz100]

Is not big for Red Komodo?

[@ElChamoRios]

So I bought this lens thanks partially to this video but one thing that wasn't really addressed is how to properly switch from PL to EF mount. It seems easy at first because, technically, it's just unscrewing one mount and screwing on the other. But there are no instructions on how to make sure that the flange has been corrected and I immediately saw that my focus markers became wildly inaccurate with the EF mount on my BMPCC 6K (when focused on an object 20 ft away, the lens marker said it was 6 ft away). Several emails to DZO have not given me the right answer (the first response told me to use +0.3 shim, which didn't work) and I've been left to trial and error. I'm curious to hear what shims y'all use with the EF mount to ensure accurate focus marks

[@handerre32]

Did you find an answer here? I have bought it now for the Komodo, but I have no idea what to do when changing to EF mount

[@DeadTalkLive]

Good clip ♥♥♥! As a fellow KZbinr, I am contantly searching for new ideas! Good Job!

[@davewerner7609]

Was that footage from the Komodo?

[@n8miles455]

No, but if you want to see exclusive info + videos on things like the RED komodo - join the RED DSMC2 or RED Komodo Users Facebook groups

[@dude1diligence]

Does this lens work with Sony A7SIII? Thanks

[@KingdomThoughtLeaders]

I was thinking the same question but with Fujifilm XT4 or GFX. I saw the reference the adaptors so probably so.

[@dude1diligence]

@@KingdomThoughtLeaders I think X mount is quite impossible to adapt with MFT mount based on what I know. Unfortunately because I would like that too. There is a possibility with E mount though because there is such an adaptor, but I think it must be used in APSC mode with Sony or clear image zoom. But Im not sure if this particular lens allows.

[@oracleman]

This guy mount it on S1H, and cropped it to S35. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap7JcpVsZ7h7b6M

[@d4rkred]

Yup... EF mount, on super 35mm... the lenses are FF, so no problem

[@frankfarago2825]

Yes, Arriflex PL (Positive Locking) mounts were great.... particularly back in 1972 when they first came out by Arriflex. But this here now is 2020. Just about all newer mounts are better.... particularly the new Arri mount. Arri PL is okay, but it is 48 years old. On with the show, folks.

[@JoeGunawanfotosiamo]

I like the LPL mount! We used ARRI Signature Primes on the Mini LF this past week.

[@JohnD271]

Why did the boxes at the end say 20-70?

[@BenjaminRowlandTV]

That's a different zoom that this company sells.

[@shufflecloud5961]

That's a old M43 lens

[@hellohogo]

Pure lust

[@jamesshort6856]

they should have put a motor port on the komodo, so you can use the internal af for cine lenses.

[@zackketz]

$900 more just to get them in a different color??!! Insane!!

[@nwb741]

Great for the Komodo sensor size, but they won't cover the Gemini or Helium

[@nelsonclub7722]

We need to discuss Black Magic's 12k camera just released - T W E L V E K - get your hands on it immediately

[@macworld33]

I wish the first thing out of a reviewer's mouth is a simple description followed by the price. Think English composition 101 opening paragraph.

[@macworld33]

Shipping soon. PL mount. Built from the ground up as a Cinema lens with a Fully manual zoom, slightly larger than super 35 sensor coverage, in black and white color under $5000.00 for the black, more for the white.

[@anthonymelendez2605]

No one is really talking about red Komodo is all about R5/6 when the new red camera is RF and that’s only going to help out people who invested in canon mirrorless and are looking to step up.

[@davewerner7609]

I was thinking the same thing. I believe the Komodo is DOA at this point.

[@jamesshort6856]

@@davewerner7609 the hfr is disappointing tho

[@davewerner7609]

James Short you mean on the Komodo? Or R5? I’m guessing that Red can increase the frame rate with a firmware upgrade

[@lifeingeneral9111]

I worked in motion picture business in Hollywood for 40 years film and video and never once ever have I seen them use auto focus for shit

[@randallburgess6393]

YES there is a trend for AF in pro cinema for use on feature film work, soon the days of needing a focus puller will be gone.

[@wcsdiaries]

In which films?

[@borderlandfilms7956]

if autofocus is good for face-tracking, and doesnt “search” and looks organic and natural, its ideal for steadicam shots especially with a skeleton crew, no crew, fast-moving subjects such as race cars or animals. it just makes sense. when u have a pro crew on a pro set, u probably dont need it. no snobbery required on this subject.

[@MrAlwaysOnTen]
