DZOFilm TANGO 65–280 mm T2.9–4 Super 35 Zoom Lens

The DZOFilm TANGO 65–280 mm T2.9–4 is a versatile telephoto cine zoom covering Super 35 sensors with a constant T2.9 aperture that ramps to T4 at 280 mm. Interchangeable ARRI PL and Canon EF mounts, a parfocal design, and robust metal construction make it ideal for both run-and-gun and cinematic workflows.

Featuring 21 elements in 17 groups with multi-layer anti-reflective coatings, the TANGO delivers high contrast, minimal focus breathing (≤ 0.5 % at 65 mm), and smooth bokeh from its 16-blade iris. Cinema-standard 0.8 MOD gearing, 270° focus throw, 100° zoom throw, and 73.5° iris throw ensure precise manual control across the entire focal range.
