DZOFilm PAVO 28mm T2.1 2× Anamorphic Prime Lens

The DZOFilm PAVO 28mm T2.1 is a true 2× anamorphic prime lens delivering a vintage cinematic look on Super 35 sensors. With a bright T2.1 maximum aperture and blue-coated elements, it produces signature “waterfall” bokeh and elegant horizontal flares. Its compact, lightweight design and interchangeable PL/EF mount make it ideal for handheld, gimbal, or drone setups.

Featuring low-distortion optics and a close focusing distance of just 1 ft 4 in, the PAVO breaks through the limitations of traditional anamorphic lenses. Focus and iris scales are in feet, and the gear standard is 0.8 MOD for seamless integration with follow-focus systems.
