Common questions

Can I run DZOFilm PL lenses on a Sony Venice, FX9, or Canon C-series?
Yes. Every DZOFilm lens on the shelf ships native PL mount. We rent DZOFilm PL-to-Sony E and PL-to-Canon RF adapters at $10 per day, so a Catta Ace zoom or Arles prime drops onto a Sony Venice, FX9, FX6, FX3, A7 series, or a Canon C500 Mark II, C400, R5C body without rehousing. Tell us the body at booking and we will pre-rig the adapter.
What is the difference between T-stops and f-stops on cine lenses?
F-stops measure the geometric ratio of aperture to focal length. T-stops (transmission stops) measure actual light passing through the glass after element absorption losses. Cine lenses like the DZOFilm Arles VV (T1.4), Vespid 2 (T1.9), and Catta Ace (T2.9) are calibrated to T-stops so a 35mm and 85mm at the same T-stop expose identically. Stills lenses use f-stops and exposure shifts when you swap focal lengths.
Arles VV vs Vespid 2 vs Vespid: which DZOFilm prime set should I rent?
Arles VV is the premium full-frame Vista Vision set: T1.4 across 14mm to 180mm, designed for VV sensors like Sony Venice 8K, ARRI ALEXA 35 LF, RED V-Raptor 8K VV. Vespid 2 is the upgraded Super 35 / full-frame coverage prime at T1.9, smaller and lighter, faster than the original Vespid. Vespid (older) is the budget T2.1 Super 35 set, eight focal lengths from 12mm to 125mm. Pick Arles for VV cinema work, Vespid 2 for hybrid commercial / narrative, Vespid for music video and indie features.
Are DZOFilm lenses weather-sealed for outdoor and wet shoots?
DZOFilm Catta Ace zooms and Arles VV primes have dust and splash resistance built into the barrel and mount. They are not waterproof submersibles, but they hold up to a Toronto rain shoot, dust on a beach scene at Cherry Beach, or fog on a music video set. We still recommend rain covers for sustained downpour and clean the front element between setups.
What ships with each DZOFilm lens rental?
Every DZOFilm lens leaves the shelf with the front and rear cap, the original lens case, and a clean front element. Catta Ace and Pictor zooms ship with the integrated zoom ring gear (0.8 MOD) and PL mount. Arles VV and Vespid 2 primes ship with focus, iris, and zoom gears at 0.8 MOD for follow-focus and motor compatibility. Add the PL-to-RF or PL-to-Sony E adapter at the booking step if needed.
Why pick DZOFilm instead of Cooke, Zeiss, or Master Primes?
DZOFilm is the working rental-house cine lens brand. Real PL mount, real T-stops, full-frame VV coverage on the Arles set, and pricing that lets indie features, music videos, commercial spec work, and Toronto narrative crews rent a full set. Cooke S7/i and Zeiss Supremes ship beautiful image but cost three to five times the day rate. DZOFilm Arles delivers VV T1.4 character without the line-item surcharge.
