The DZOFilm Catta Ace 18-35mm T2.9 professional cinema lens shares many similarities with the earlier Pictor 14-30mm T2.8 Super35 Parfocal Zoom Lens.

The DZOFilm Catta Ace 18-35mm T2.9 lens maintains focus throughout the entire zoom range. It covers a 43.5mm image circle and comes with either a PL or Sony E-mount, or a Canon EF-mount option.

The lens has a 16-blade aperture and is claimed to deliver soft bokeh. The optical design of the lens consists of 21 elements in 17 groups.

The lens is available in black or white, as well as in 2- and 3-lens kits that include a case and EF mount.

If you have already purchased one of the Catta Ace 35-80mm T2.9 or Catta Ace 70-135mm T2.9 lenses, the new lens will offer you a wider choice of focal lengths and thus complete your creativity.
