Super 35
The Tango S35 cine zoom lens duo delivers exceptional versatility across an extensive focal range. The wide-to-standard 18-90mm T2.9 and the telephoto 65-280mm T2.9-4 combine to cover virtually any shooting scenario, from expansive landscapes to detailed, intimate close-ups.
The 18-90mm maintains a constant T2.9 aperture across its entire 5x zoom range, while its longer companion, the 65-280mm, offers a modest T2.9 to T4 through its 4.3x zoom ratio. Together, these super 35mm cine zoom lenses for filmmakers offer uninterrupted coverage from 18mm to 280mm, eliminating the need for frequent lens changes while maintaining exceptional optical quality throughout.
Featuring a 16-blade aperture diaphragm, the Tango Zoom series creates smooth, circular bokeh at any aperture setting, delivering pleasing background blur while eliminating distracting polygonal shapes in out-of-focus areas.
Designed for Super35 format, these zoom lenses benefit from the format’s 1.5x crop factor which provides greater depth of field. With a constant T2.9 aperture and exceptional color rendition that delivers lifelike skin tones, they perform exceptionally well in dynamic shooting scenarios. This combination makes them ideal for various production needs, from fashion and documentaries to sports shows.
The advanced optical design help this S35 parfocal lens series correct chromatic aberrations for optimal image quality and color accuracy, making this lineup ensure consistent colors, controlled distortion, and minimal focus breathing. Its parfocal design maintains sharp focus throughout zoom transitions, delivering an immersive visual experience.
The Tango Zoom lenses feature a precision flange-back adjustment mechanism that enhances versatility across different S35 camera systems. It can be securely locked using the provided screwdriver, preventing unintended adjustments during shoots.
Combined with uniform width and positioning of the focus, iris, and zoom rings across the lens series, these features together simplify lens swaps and maximize shooting efficiency, making the series particularly practical for dynamic production environments.
The Tango Zoom series covers S35 sensors and can be equipped with an optional servo unit. Combining cinema-grade optics with ENG-style functionality, these lenses meet the demands of broadcasting, events, and versatile shooting scenarios. For experienced cinematographers seeking professional performance, Tango lenses integrate seamlessly with ENG cameras for remote control of focus, iris, and zoom. Mount these lenses on an ENG camera - then frame and create fearlessly.
Thoughtfully designed to accommodate the demands of low-light shooting, all focus ring, zoom ring, and aperture ring markings are coated with luminous paint.
This ingenious integration enhances clarity, empowering focus pullers and camera operators to effortlessly discern crucial details above the S35 cine zoom lens, elevating on-set efficiency.
Dual focus scales help ensure focusing accuracy and accommodate preferences of more filmmakers.
