DZOFilm PAVO 55mm T2.1 2× Anamorphic Prime Lens

The DZOFilm PAVO 55mm T2.1 is a fast, true 2× anamorphic prime lens engineered for Super 35/APS-C cine-style cameras. Its bright T2.1 aperture and precision optical design deliver rich, cinematic images with classic “waterfall” bokeh and signature blue horizontal flares. The rugged aluminum-alloy construction and space gray/black finish ensure reliability and ergonomics on set.

Featuring interchangeable PL and EF mounts, the lens covers a Ø 31.5 mm image circle and employs a 0.8 MOD gear standard for smooth rigging. Its compact 4.26″ length and 2.78 lb weight make it gimbal- and drone-friendly, while the cobalt-ink blue coating adds striking dual-flare aesthetics. A built-in back-focus adjustment and compatibility with the Marlin 1.6× Expander broaden its versatility across camera platforms.
