Overview
The DZOFilm Tango 18-90mm T2.9 Cinema Lens with PL & EF-Mounts is an all-in-one spherical zoom that covers Super 35 mm sensors. An all-in-one range covers wide through telephoto on one lens, which suits documentary and run-and-gun work where there is no time to change glass. Its 5x zoom range allows camera operators to reframe without repositioning the camera, and a constant T2.9 aperture holds exposure steady through the zoom. It uses a PL-Mount and EF-Mount with manual focus.

Key Features
All-in-One Super 35 mm Coverage
The lens covers Super 35 mm sensors, projecting a 31.5 mm image circle. A range spanning wide through telephoto covers a scene without a lens change, which documentary and run-and-gun shooting depend on.
User-Interchangeable Mount
The mount can be swapped by the owner, letting one lens follow a camera package across bodies rather than staying tied to whichever mount it shipped with. That matters most to owner-operators buying into a system they expect to change.
Optical Design
5x Zoom Range
The 18-90mm range covers 5x without a lens change, holding a constant T2.9 through the zoom. Reframing happens on the barrel, letting one operator move between a wide and a tight shot inside a single take.
Focus & Handling
70 cm Minimum Focus
Mount & Rig Integration
PL-Mount and EF-Mount
The lens mounts via PL-Mount and EF-Mount, fitting industry-standard cinema cameras and adapting to most modern cinema and hybrid bodies. It operates fully manually and passes no metadata to the camera.
0.8-Pitch Cine Gears
The lens carries 0.8-pitch cine gears, the standard pitch for follow focus units and lens motors. Compatibility with lens control systems lets a solo operator make consistent, repeatable focus pulls, or a camera assistant control the lens remotely.
114mm Front Diameter
The front element measures 114mm, which matches the 114 mm standard most matte boxes clamp to directly. Matte box fit follows from this measurement rather than from the filter thread, since the clamp grips the outside of the barrel.
105mm Filter Thread
The front accepts 105mm screw-in filters behind a 114mm front element. A matte box clamps to the outside diameter instead, which is what most cine setups use to avoid re-threading filters between lenses.
