The DZOFilm Tango 18-90mm T2.9 & 65-280mm T2.9-T4 S35 Zoom Lens Bundle (ARRI PL & Canon EF, Feet) pairs two complementary cinema zoom lenses for continuous 18–280mm focal-length coverage across Super35 productions. The 18–90mm maintains a constant T2.9 maximum aperture, while the longer 65–280mm has a variable T2.9–T4 maximum aperture. Both lenses feature 16-blade irises, interchangeable ARRI PL and Canon EF mounts, luminous imperial markings, and parfocal designs that require correct back-focus calibration. Hard-shell case protection is included, with case quantity and configuration to be confirmed; compatible MOVCAM servo hardware is optional and sold separately.

This DZOFilm Tango Super35 zoom bundle contains the DZO-T189029I 18–90mm lens and DZO-T6528029I 65–280mm lens, both with feet / imperial focus markings. Each has a 31.5mm image circle, a 16-blade iris, a T22 minimum aperture, a 114mm front diameter, M105 filter threads, and 0.8 MOD lens gears. The 18–90mm is a 5× constant-T2.9 zoom with 24 optical elements in 17 groups, 0.7m minimum focusing distance, and approximately 3.54kg weight. The 65–280mm is a 4.31× zoom with maximum aperture varying from T2.9 to T4, 21 elements in 17 groups, 1.1m minimum focusing distance, and approximately 3.96kg weight. Both lenses ship in ARRI PL configuration with an alternate Canon EF mount for each. Combined lens weight is approximately 7.50kg, excluding the case and accessories. The bundle includes hard-shell case protection; confirm the number and arrangement of cases with Coremicro. MOVCAM servo units are not included.

🎥

18–280mm Coverage Across Two Super35 Zooms

The 18–90mm 5× zoom covers wide to medium-telephoto framing, while the 65–280mm 4.31× lens extends reach for distant subjects and tighter details. Their 65–90mm overlap offers flexibility when switching lenses. Both provide a 31.5mm Super35 image circle; neither is designed for native full-frame coverage.

⚙️

Constant T2.9 Plus Variable T2.9–T4 Apertures

The 18–90mm maintains its maximum T2.9 throughout its full range. The 65–280mm starts at T2.9 and transitions to T4 toward longer focal lengths, so exposure may need adjustment during a telephoto zoom. Each lens stops down to T22 and uses a 16-blade iris for rounded out-of-focus highlights.

🔄

Interchangeable ARRI PL and Canon EF for Each Lens

Each Tango zoom comes with an ARRI PL mount fitted and a Canon EF alternative supplied for compatible cinema cameras. Mounts are exchanged one at a time, not used simultaneously. After changing a mount, inspect the fit, lens support, and flange-back calibration; no electronic lens communication is provided by the standard lenses.

🎯

Parfocal Design with Adjustable Back Focus

Both zooms are designed to hold focus while focal length changes when properly calibrated. Adjustable back focus helps align each lens with the selected camera mount. Each lens provides approximately 270° of manual focus rotation and 100° of zoom rotation, making focus and zoom operations familiar across the pair.

🌙

Luminous Feet Scales and Matched Cinema Handling

Both included versions use imperial focus scales marked in feet on either side of their barrels. Luminous focus, zoom, and iris marks aid visibility on dark sets. Matching 114mm front diameters, M105 filter threads, 0.8 MOD gears, and 16-blade irises support a consistent lens-control workflow.

📦

Hard-Shell Case Included; MOVCAM Servo Optional

The two-lens bundle includes protective hard-shell case packaging; confirm the quantity and arrangement at purchase. The lenses are manually operated as supplied. Compatible MOVCAM servo hardware can add motorized focus, iris, and zoom for ENG-style applications; servo units are sold separately and are not part of this bundle.

Together the 18–90mm and 65–280mm lenses provide an 18–280mm focal-length span across two separate lenses, with an overlap from 65mm to 90mm. Both are designed for Super35 / APS-C capture and have individual 31.5mm image circles. A full-frame camera may need a compatible Super35 crop or windowed recording mode, plus a suitable mount interface; native full-frame image coverage is not claimed. Both lenses are supplied with ARRI PL mounts installed and Canon EF mounts as interchangeable alternatives. Confirm the selected camera's flange distance, rear clearance, physical lens support, and back-focus alignment after installation. EF mounting does not add electronic iris control, stabilization, or lens metadata transmission.

The Tango pair is engineered for consistent color rendition and controlled optical aberrations across the series, helping crews match wide and telephoto shots. The 18–90mm uses 24 elements in 17 groups and focuses as close as 0.7m / approximately 2ft 3in; the 65–280mm uses 21 elements in 17 groups and focuses to 1.1m / approximately 3ft 7in. Both distances are measured from the sensor plane. Their manual focus and zoom rotations are matched at approximately 270° and 100°, while iris rotation differs slightly (74.1° for 18–90mm; 73.5° for 65–280mm). Use appropriate lens supports for the approximately 3.54kg and 3.96kg assemblies, and verify parfocal performance on the actual camera.

Narrative and Commercial Cinematography

Match Wide Framing with Telephoto Character Details

Use the 18–90mm for establishing images, moving dialogue scenes, and medium shots; switch to the 65–280mm for distant action and compressed-perspective close-ups. Both lenses share Tango-series color goals and 16-blade irises.

Documentary and Field Production

Cover Changing Subject Distances with Two Zooms

Choose the wider 5× zoom for environmental coverage or the 4.31× telephoto for subjects farther away. Check back focus, balance each lens with proper support, and account for the variable telephoto maximum aperture.

Live Events, Sports, and Broadcast

Build Complementary Super35 Camera Positions

Place the 18–90mm on a closer camera and the 65–280mm on a long-reach position. Luminous feet markings support dim venues, and compatible separately purchased MOVCAM servo units enable motorized lens control where required.

What lenses are included in the DZOFilm Tango two-lens bundle?

The bundle contains the Tango 18–90mm constant-T2.9 Super35 zoom (DZO-T189029I) and Tango 65–280mm T2.9–T4 Super35 zoom (DZO-T6528029I), both with imperial feet markings. Together they span 18–280mm across two separate lenses.

Does the Tango zoom bundle cover full-frame cameras?

No native full-frame coverage is specified. Each lens is designed for Super35 / APS-C capture with a 31.5mm image circle. On full-frame bodies, verify an appropriate Super35 crop or windowed mode and compatible lens mounting.

Do both Tango lenses maintain constant T2.9?

No. The 18–90mm has a constant T2.9 maximum aperture throughout its zoom range. The 65–280mm has a variable maximum aperture from T2.9 toward T4 at longer focal lengths. Both lenses stop down to T22.

Are ARRI PL and Canon EF mounts supplied for both zoom lenses?

Yes. Each lens comes with an ARRI PL mount installed and a separate interchangeable Canon EF mount. Only one mount is fitted per lens at a time. Check installation, camera compatibility, and back-focus adjustment after swapping.

Are both Tango zoom lenses parfocal?

Both lenses are designed to hold focus while zooming, provided their flange-back alignment is correctly calibrated. Verify parfocal performance on each camera, especially after changing a lens mount.

Does the bundle include a hard-shell case and a MOVCAM servo?

Hard-shell case protection is included with the two-lens bundle, but confirm case quantity and configuration with Coremicro. MOVCAM servo hardware is not included; compatible servo units for motorized focus, iris, and zoom are sold separately.

What is the difference between the Tango feet and meter editions?

This bundle pairs the feet / imperial versions of both lenses, with luminous distance marks on both sides of each barrel. Metric versions use meter distance markings. The marked scale changes, but the lenses' optical specifications do not change solely because of that choice.
