Product Information

Full details

The DZOFILM Gnosis 90mm T2.8 Macro Prime lens is designed for filmmakers seeking exceptional detail in close-up shots with a versatile wide field of view. Its key benefit lies in its ability to capture intricate details with 1:1 magnification and a broad perspective, bridging the gap between macro and wider shots. A potential caveat for some users might be its specific 90mm focal length, which is less common for general-purpose wide-angle needs.
