DZOFilm Pictor Zoom Set: 50-125mm T2.8 Lens Review

Yo! DZOFilm has been on their game recently with releasing affordable and great-looking cine glass, and they have proved that once again with this Pictor Zoom set! These are cinema-quality zooms that remain parfocal and cover a range of 20-125mm all at T2.8... without the cine zoom set pricetag. In this video we are checking out the tighter of the two lenses, the 50-125mm, but join us next week for the 20-55mm!

Great detailed analysis of this lens. Ironically I just purchased this lens and it arrived today. I haven't messed with it too much but I did do some test footage with someone else's DZO 50-125 on my ZCam E2S6 2 months ago and I loved the rack focus ability of it. Jumping up from the Rokinon Cine DS lenses to this I find the focus breathing very minimal compared to the Rokinon prime lenses. I'm not completely sold on the Sigma's as they don't cover the spectrum of range as these DZO's do. 18-35 vs 20-55 and 50-125 vs 50-100. I'd rather have more range than maybe a half a stop of light. Then again I do like the fact the Rokinon's are 1.5T which then helps in those scenarios. Keep up the great work!

As I mentioned in the comments section of your review of the 20-55mm member of this pair, I had both on demo at about the time you released your review. I agree with just about all your findings in the tests. However, in the example of the 50-125mm lens I had, I did see some barrel distortion at the 50mm end. It was not as bad as at 20mm on the shorter lens. I would say geometric distortion on the longer lens at 50mm was about the same as the shorter one at 28mm. It cleared up pretty quickly. And, I didn't detect any distortion further on.
