This guide is for filmmakers aiming for a distinctive widescreen cinematic look with 2x anamorphic compression. The DZOFILM Pavo 28mm T2.1 Lens delivers this with its T2.1 maximum aperture and capability for dramatic close-ups, though its specific aesthetic might require adjustment for those accustomed to spherical lenses.

The DZOFILM Pavo 28mm T2.1 Lens features 2x anamorphic magnification, designed to produce a final image with a 2.39:1 aspect ratio after de-squeezing in post-production.
You do not need special software to *use* the lens on your camera. However, you will need video editing software capable of de-squeezing anamorphic footage in post-production to view and export the image at its correct aspect ratio.
Yes, the Pavo series can be adapted for use with full-frame cameras when paired with DZOFILM Marlin expanders. Consult DZOFILM's specifications for compatible expander models.
The lens has a minimum focusing distance of 0.4 meters (approximately 1.31 feet), allowing for detailed close-up and macro shots.
The 14-blade aperture and anamorphic design naturally produce oval-shaped bokeh when the lens is used at wider apertures and in focus situations where the background is out of focus.
The 'Neutral' coating refers to the lens's flare characteristics and color rendition. It aims for a neutral horizontal flare color, suitable for various genres, and accurate color rendering without excessive artistic tinting.
While the lens is relatively lightweight and compact, its primary use case often involves stabilized systems like gimbals or tripods for cinematic shots. Handheld shooting is possible but may require practice to manage the compression and stabilization effectively.
This is the intended anamorphic effect. De-squeeze the footage in post-production software to achieve the correct aspect ratio.
Ensure critical focus is achieved, especially with shallow depth of field. Use focus peaking or magnification tools. Verify lens is properly seated on the camera.
Check for obstructions on the camera mount or lens mount. Ensure you are using the correct mount type (PL or EF) for your camera and that it is aligned properly before turning to lock.
Use a blower brush to remove loose dust. For stubborn dust or smudges, use a dedicated lens cleaning solution and a microfiber lens cloth gently.
