Description
Parfocal Design with Minimal Breathing
The black, parfocal DZO Pictor 12-25mm T2.8 Super35 Zoom Lens features an aperture range of T2.8 to T22, the ability to hold focus throughout the zoom range, and an internal focus design with floating elements that virtually eliminates focus breathing.
Cine-Style Design
This Pictor lens features 0.8 MOD cine-style focus, iris, and zoom gear rings, making it compatible with cine-style lens accessories such as follow focus units, lens motors, and lens control systems. The 95mm outer front diameter allows you to use a variety of compatible third-party matte boxes, and the lens has an 86mm filter thread. A lens foot with a 1/4″-20 thread enables you to use a support to help reduce strain on your camera’s lens port.
Close Focus for a Wider, Immersive Look
The Pictor 12-25mm Zoom’s 16″/40cm close focus enables you to capture tighter close-ups in limited space environments with controlled curvature, creating a more subjective and immersive audience perspective.
Interchangeable PL and EF Mounts
The efficient Pictor design comes standard with an interchangeable PL mount and includes an EF mount.
Natural Looking Bokeh
The 16-blade iris creates round out-of-focus highlights, which have a more natural appearance and contribute to the lens’s natural-looking bokeh.
Vivid Organic Look
Suitable for feature films, commercials, documentaries, and all forms of production, the Pictor Zoom series captures crisp details while expressing a vivid, organic look and cinematic texture.

Compatible Filters
-
Circular Filters (86mm): Ideal for run-and-gun documentary setups. The lens accepts standard 86mm screw-on filters directly on the front thread.
-
Cinema Filters (4×5.65″): For narrative and commercial setups, pair this lens with 4×5.65″ glass filters, such as our 7x TIFFEN 4×5.6 IR ND WW Filter Set, using the Tilta MB-T12 or ARRI LMB.
Recommended Rigging Accessories
-
Wireless Lens Control (3-Motor Setup): Because this is a true cinema zoom with 0.8 MOD gears for Focus, Iris, and Zoom, we highly recommend renting a multi-motor setup like the Nucleus-M II Wireless Lens Control System for full FIZ control.
-
15mm LWS Lens Support: Weighing roughly 1.7 kg, this is a solid, all-metal zoom lens. Utilizing a 15mm lens support bracket paired with our Smallrig Adapter Baseplate 15mm is strongly recommended to protect the camera’s mount, prevent micro-jitters, and support the weight of wireless motors.
