Introduction: Sony FX9 + DZOFilm Pictor Zoom Lenses
In today’s fast-paced production environment, combining high-quality imaging with efficiency and flexibility is key. The pairing of the Sony FX9 cinema camera with DZOFilm’s Pictor Zoom series lenses delivers a versatile, cost-effective solution for filmmakers, commercial productions, and documentary creators alike.
Sony FX9: Full-Frame Cinematic Power
The Sony FX9 features a 6K full-frame back-illuminated sensor, capable of oversampled 4K recording, and offers Dual Base ISO (800/4000) for excellent low-light performance. With 14+ stops of dynamic range, advanced autofocus with face and eye tracking, and a built-in electronic variable ND filter, the FX9 offers exceptional image quality with maximum control and ease of use.
DZOFilm Pictor Zoom: Compact Super35 Cine Zooms
DZOFilm’s Pictor Zoom series—including the popular 20-55mm and 50-125mm T2.8 models—is designed for Super35 format cinema production. These lenses deliver sharp, cinematic images with minimal focus breathing, smooth focus throw, and consistent performance throughout the zoom range. Their interchangeable PL/EF mount design makes them flexible across camera systems.
A Perfect Match: Super35 Lens, Full-Frame Camera
Although the FX9 is a full-frame camera, it supports a Super35 crop mode, making it fully compatible with Pictor Zoom lenses. Using an E-mount to PL adapter (e.g., DZOFilm Octopus), users can seamlessly integrate these cinema zooms into their workflow, expanding creative flexibility without compromising image quality.
Key Benefits:
- Cinematic Visuals: Wide dynamic range, soft bokeh, and filmic color rendition
- Low-Light Excellence: Dual Base ISO + fast T2.8 aperture
- Modular & Compatible: Works with follow focus motors, wireless lens control, etc.
- Budget-Friendly: A high-end look with a lower investment

This configuration strikes the perfect balance between professional cinematic aesthetics and practical, on-set functionality—making it a reliable choice for creative teams seeking premium results within a manageable production footprint.
