Product Overview
The DZOFilm 24mm T2.8 Gnosis Macro Prime Lens combines wide-angle perspective with close-focus macro imaging for commercial, tabletop, product, and cinema production. It reaches 0.8x magnification at a 6.1-inch minimum focus distance while keeping more of the surrounding environment visible than a longer macro prime. The lens covers full-frame and VistaVision formats, uses a T2.8 maximum aperture, and ships in an ARRI LPL configuration with ARRI PL and Canon EF mounts also included.
24mm Wide-Angle Macro Prime
Combines a broad 24mm perspective with macro close-focus capability for immersive foreground detail.
0.8x Magnification at 6.1 Inches
Reaches up to 0.8x magnification at a 6.1-inch minimum focus distance for detailed close-up imaging.
Full-Frame and VistaVision Coverage
Provides an 83.8° full-frame field of view and an 88° field of view in VistaVision format.
LPL, PL, and EF Mount Options
Ships with ARRI LPL mounting and includes ARRI PL and Canon EF mounts for compatible camera systems.
T2.8 Aperture with 16-Blade Iris
A T2.8 maximum aperture and 16-blade iris support controlled exposure and smooth bokeh.
300° Cine Focus Rotation
Long focus rotation, 0.8 MOD gearing, and feet-based focus marks support measured manual focus operation.
Bring More of the Environment into Macro Close-Ups
The Gnosis 24mm combines close-focus macro imaging with a wider field of view. At up to 0.8x magnification, a foreground subject can fill the frame while more of the surrounding environment remains visible behind it.
The lens focuses as close as 6.1 inches and covers both full-frame and VistaVision formats. It provides an 83.8° field of view on full-frame and an 88° field of view in VistaVision, supporting immersive close-ups with a strong sense of depth.
Combine Fine Foreground Detail with a Wider Background
A 24mm focal length includes more background than a conventional longer macro prime. This makes the lens useful when the relationship between a close subject and its surroundings is part of the composition.
Maximum magnification reaches 0.8x, equivalent to a 1:1.25 reproduction ratio. Product, tabletop, commercial, and narrative crews can capture detailed foreground subjects without losing the spatial character of a wide cinema lens.
Move Between ARRI LPL, PL, and Canon EF Camera Systems
The 24mm Gnosis is supplied in an ARRI LPL configuration and also includes ARRI PL and Canon EF mounts. This gives camera departments multiple physical mounting options for compatible cine-style systems.
The lens also provides a 3/8'-16 mounting point for additional physical support when it is installed in a larger cinema camera rig. Focus scales on this version are calibrated in feet for crews working with imperial distance measurements.
T2.8 Optics with Low-Dispersion and HRI Glass
The optical construction uses 12 elements arranged in 10 groups, including two low-dispersion elements and three high-refractive-index elements. The design helps control chromatic aberration while retaining natural color and tonal gradation.
The aperture runs from T2.8 to T22 and uses a 16-blade iris for smooth bokeh and controlled exposure. Standard 0.8 MOD gearing, a 300° focus rotation, and a 62° iris rotation provide familiar mechanical control for professional cine workflows.
Capture Fine Detail with Environmental Context
The 0.8x macro capability brings small product details forward, while the 24mm field of view keeps more of the surrounding set visible than a longer macro prime.
Work Close to Small Subjects
A 6.1-inch minimum focus distance supports detailed tabletop close-ups while the wide perspective preserves background information and spatial depth.
Combine Macro Detail with Wide Composition
Commercial crews can use the Gnosis 24mm for product inserts, textured detail shots, and close compositions where the subject still needs to remain connected to its environment.
Build Immersive Large-Format Macro Shots
Full-frame and VistaVision coverage gives filmmakers a broad macro perspective for foreground details, inserts, and stylized close-ups that retain more of the surrounding scene.
Cinematographers
Shooters who need a wide-angle macro perspective for full-frame and VistaVision cinema production.
Product Shooters
Crews capturing close product details while retaining more of the surrounding set in frame.
Tabletop Crews
Operators working close to small subjects with 0.8x macro magnification and a 6.1-inch minimum focus distance.
Camera Assistants
Camera teams working with 300° focus rotation, 0.8 MOD gearing, and imperial focus marks in feet.
Large-Format Camera Crews
Productions using full-frame or VistaVision cameras that need macro imaging with a wide field of view.
Multi-Camera Productions
Teams that benefit from ARRI LPL, ARRI PL, and Canon EF mount options across compatible camera systems.
