Xtreme Zoom 75-250mm


Description

The Chiopt Xtreme Zoom 75-250mm is a professional-grade cinema zoom lens built for cinematographers who demand optical precision and rugged reliability on set. Covering a versatile 75-250mm focal range with a fast T3.2 aperture, this lens delivers stunning clarity on full-frame and 8K-capable sensor formats. Its parfocal design ensures your image stays sharp throughout the entire zoom range - no refocusing required when pulling in or out during a shot.

Engineered to match the Chiopt Xtreme 28-85mm zoom in both color rendering and weight, this lens integrates seamlessly into a matched two-lens cinema kit. Weatherproof and dustproof construction keeps it reliable on location, while the 11-blade iris and minimal breathing characteristics make it a natural choice for narrative, commercial, and documentary productions alike.

FAQ

What does parfocal mean and why does it matter?

A parfocal lens maintains focus as you zoom in or out. This is essential in cinema and video production because it means you can reframe your shot by zooming without losing sharpness - no need to refocus after every zoom adjustment. Many consumer and photography zoom lenses are not truly parfocal, which makes the Xtreme Zoom's parfocal design a significant advantage for professional productions.

Can I use this lens on my Sony, Canon, or ARRI camera?

Yes. The Xtreme Zoom 75-250mm ships standard with a PL mount, which is compatible with ARRI, RED, and other PL-mount cinema cameras. EF and E (Sony) mounts are available as separate add-on accessories, giving you the flexibility to use this lens across a wide range of camera systems.

Does this lens work well for video production or is it photography-oriented?

This lens is purpose-built for cinema and professional video production. Its parfocal design, 11-blade iris for smooth aperture transitions, minimal breathing, standard 0.8 MOD cine gear rings, and dual imperial/metric focus scales are all features specific to cine lenses - not still photography glass. It is ideal for narrative film, documentaries, broadcast, and commercial video work.

What is lens breathing and how does the Xtreme Zoom handle it?

Lens breathing refers to an unwanted shift in the apparent field of view when the focus is adjusted. It can be very distracting in video and film, especially during focus pulls. The Chiopt Xtreme Zoom 75-250mm is engineered for minimal breathing, meaning the image stays stable and consistent as your focus puller works - resulting in cleaner, more professional-looking shots.

Is the 75-250mm matched to the Xtreme 28-85mm zoom?

Yes. The Xtreme Zoom 75-250mm and 28-85mm are specifically designed to be color- and weight-matched to each other. This means consistent color rendering across both lenses, making them ideal for use together as a two-lens cinema kit. The matched weight also helps with rig balance when swapping between the two lenses on set.
