DZOFilm PAVO 40mm T2.1 2× Anamorphic Prime Lens

The DZOFilm PAVO 40mm T2.1 is a fast, true 2× anamorphic prime lens optimized for Super 35 cinema cameras. Its blue-coated elements produce signature horizontal flares and creamy “waterfall” bokeh, even in low-light scenarios, thanks to a bright T2.1 maximum aperture. Interchangeable PL and EF mounts and imperial focus scales make it ideal for handheld, gimbal, or drone setups.

Constructed with 14 elements in 13 groups and featuring a 16-blade aperture, the PAVO 40mm delivers sharp, high-contrast images with minimal chromatic aberration. A close focus distance of 2 ft, 270° focus rotation, and precise iris throw of 58° provide filmmakers with fine control and versatility across dynamic shooting environments.
