Product Information

Full details

The DZOFILM Pavo 2x Anamorphic 3-Lens Set is designed for professional cinematographers and indie filmmakers who seek the authentic 2.39:1 widescreen aesthetic without the bulk of traditional anamorphic glass. Featuring 32mm, 55mm, and 100mm focal lengths, this set delivers signature oval bokeh and dramatic horizontal flares, making it an excellent choice for narrative film and commercial work. While these lenses are remarkably compact for their class, users should note that full-frame coverage requires the additional purchase of the Marlin 1.6X expander to reach their full potential.

FAQs

Are these lenses compatible with Super 35 sensors?

Yes, the Pavo 2x lenses are natively designed for Super 35 sized sensors.

Can I use these on a full-frame camera?

Yes, but you must use the Marlin 1.6X expander to cover the full-frame sensor area.

Does the set come with a hard case?

DZOFILM typically packages these sets in custom-fitted protective cases for secure transport.

What is the primary benefit of the 16-blade aperture?

The 16-blade aperture provides a nearly circular opening, resulting in smoother, more natural-looking bokeh compared to lenses with fewer blades.

Can the blue flare coating be changed?

No, the flare characteristics are fixed based on the specific blue coating applied to the optical elements.

How heavy is the 32mm lens?

The weight of the lenses in the set ranges from 1.2 to 2 kg, with the 32mm being on the lighter end of that spectrum.

Troubleshooting

Image appears slightly soft at the edges

Check and calibrate the back-focus using the built-in adjustment mechanism to ensure the flange distance is perfectly set for your camera sensor.

Dark corners (vignetting) when shooting full-frame

Ensure the Marlin 1.6X expander is securely installed, as the Pavo lenses require this accessory to cover the larger full-frame sensor area.

Focus markings do not align with physical focus distance

Perform a back-focus adjustment check to re-align the lens optics with your specific camera's sensor plane.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic 2x anamorphic squeeze for a true cinematic aspect ratio
  • Lightweight construction suitable for modern gimbal rigs
  • User-friendly back-focus adjustment built directly into the lens
  • Signature blue flare characteristics provide a professional aesthetic
  • High optical resolution minimizes edge distortion

Cons

  • Native coverage does not fully cover large-format sensors without an expander
  • Requires the optional Marlin 1.6X expander for full-frame compatibility
  • Fixed blue flare coating may not suit every stylistic requirement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, verify that your camera's mount is compatible with the Pavo lens series. When shooting on full-frame sensors, ensure you have the Marlin 1.6X expander attached to avoid vignetting. The built-in back-focus adjustment is accessible via the side of the lens; use the provided adjustment tool to calibrate the focus scale if you notice back-focus drift after transit. When cleaning, use a high-quality microfiber cloth and a professional optical cleaning solution to protect the blue flare-optimized lens coatings. Always store the lenses in a dust-free, humidity-controlled case to prevent moisture buildup within the glass elements.
