Product Information

Full details

The DZOFILM Gnosis 24mm T2.8 Macro Prime Lens is designed for filmmakers and cinematographers seeking to capture immersive close-up details with a wide field of view. Its key benefit is the unique combination of macro capabilities with a broad perspective, allowing for detailed shots and expansive scenes. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific ARRI LPL-mount as the primary offering, requiring adapters for broader camera system compatibility beyond PL and EF. This lens excels at revealing the finest details, from intricate textures to subtle facial expressions, while maintaining excellent image quality and cinematic rendering across its focus range.

Troubleshooting

Lens is not focusing correctly

Ensure the lens is securely mounted to the camera body. Check that the focus ring is moving freely and not obstructed. For macro shots, ensure you are within the lens's minimum focus distance of 0.155m.

Image appears soft or blurry

Verify that the aperture (T-stop) is set appropriately for your desired depth of field. Ensure focus has been accurately achieved, especially at close distances. Clean the lens elements gently with a microfiber cloth.

Mounting issues

Confirm you are using the correct mount for your camera system (LPL, PL, or EF). Ensure the mount is properly aligned with the camera body and securely locked. If using an adapter, ensure it is compatible and properly seated.

Lens elements appear dirty

Use a soft lens brush to remove dust. For smudges, use a clean microfiber lens cloth, lightly dampened with a lens cleaning solution if necessary. Always clean from the center outwards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This lens is designed with interchangeable mounts, featuring an ARRI LPL mount as standard. It includes adapters for ARRI PL and Canon EF mounts, allowing it to be used on a wide range of cinema cameras. Ensure your camera body supports one of these mount types or utilize appropriate adapters.

Setup: To change mounts, carefully unscrew the existing mount from the lens body and attach the desired mount. Ensure all screws are tightened securely but do not overtighten. When attaching the lens to your camera, align the mount index marks and twist until it locks into place.

Care: Keep the lens cap on when not in use to protect the elements. Clean the lens elements with a soft, lint-free lens cloth or a specialized lens cleaning solution and brush. Avoid touching the glass with your fingers. Store the lens in its protective case in a cool, dry environment. Avoid exposing the lens to extreme temperatures, moisture, or dust.

Accessories: The 114mm front diameter is designed to work seamlessly with standard matte boxes and follow focus systems. Ensure any accessories are compatible with this front diameter.
