DZO lens hire in London from £90/day: Arles and Lustre primes, Catta Ace, Pictor and Tango zooms, Pavo and Arcana anamorphics, X-Tract probes. N16.
DZO lens hire in London, from £90 a day at Yellow Cactus in Stoke Newington, N16. DZOFilm makes some of the best-value cinema glass around, and we've gone deep on it. We reckon we have the largest selection of DZO lenses of any rental house in London: 11 DZO lens sets and zooms across eight lines, more than 20 individual lenses, plus DZO's own magnetic filters.
Every DZO lens we hire:
Full-frame primes:
Cinema zooms:
Anamorphic:
Specialist:
Filters:
Why DZO? The lenses are well built, consistently matched within each set, and priced so you can put proper cinema glass on a mid-budget shoot. Front diameters and gear positions are matched within most sets, so matte boxes and follow focus don't need re-rigging between lenses, and most sets come in PL or EF so they fit almost any camera with the right adapter.
Which cameras they suit: the full-frame Arles, Lustre, Catta Ace and Arcana cover large sensors such as the Sony FX6, Sony FX3, ARRI Alexa Mini LF and RED V-Raptor X. The Super 35 Pictor, Tango and Pavo are a natural fit for the RED Komodo and ARRI Alexa Mini, and for Sony bodies in Super 35 mode. Mount adapters for E-mount, RF and LPL are all on our lens hire page.
Not sure where to start? Our guide to which DZO lens to hire compares the lines side by side, our best DZO lenses for the FX6, FX3 and Komodo guide covers coverage and adapters, and our Pavo vs Arcana guide is for anyone choosing between DZO anamorphics.

DZO lenses at Yellow Cactus start at £90 a day. Each set's current day and weekly rate is shown below and on its product page, and longer hires get cheaper per day: three days are charged as 2.5 days and Monday to Friday as 3.5 days.
Arles T1.4 and Arles Lustre primes, Catta Ace, Pictor and Tango zooms, Pavo 2x and Arcana 1.5x anamorphics, X-Tract 0° and 90° probe zooms, and the KOOP magnetic filter set. That's 11 DZO lens sets and zooms across eight lines.
Not at the moment. For full-frame DZO primes we hire the Arles T1.4 and Arles Lustre sets, which cover a larger 46.5mm image circle and open up to T1.4 and T1.6.
Most of our DZO sets come in PL or EF, so tell us your camera when you order and we'll confirm the mount. The Arcana and X-Tract are PL. Adapters for Sony E-mount, RED RF and ARRI LPL are available too.
The Arles, Arles Lustre and Catta Ace cover a 46.5mm image circle, enough for full frame and VistaVision sensors. The Arcana covers full frame at 43.3mm and the X-Tract at 43.2mm. The Pictor, Tango and Pavo are Super 35 lenses.
Yes. Call ahead, then come to our counter at Unit H1, 2 Leswin Place, Stoke Newington, London N16 7NJ, Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm, and try the set on your camera.
