Product Information

Full details

The DZOFILM Pavo 75mm T2.1 2x Anamorphic Lens is designed for professional cinematographers and indie filmmakers who demand a distinct widescreen look with characteristic waterfall bokeh. Offering a 2x squeeze factor for a cinematic 2.39:1 aspect ratio, it excels at isolating subjects with a shallow depth of field; however, users should note that full-frame compatibility requires the use of the proprietary DZOFILM Marlin 1.6x Expander.

FAQs

Does this lens cover full-frame sensors?

The Pavo 75mm requires the DZOFILM Marlin 1.6x Expander to cover full-frame sensors effectively.

What is the aperture range of this lens?

This lens features a T2.1 to T22 aperture range.

How do I desqueeze the footage?

Most professional monitors and editing software (like DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro) have a desqueeze setting—typically set to 2.0x—to display the image correctly.

Is this lens weather-sealed?

The lens is built with an all-metal housing for durability, but it is not officially rated as weather-sealed. Avoid exposure to rain or extreme dust.

Can I use this on a drone?

Yes, its lightweight and compact form factor makes it suitable for use on large-lift cinema drones.

What does the blue flare coating do?

The blue coating produces the signature horizontal blue anamorphic light streaks when hit by direct, bright light sources.

Troubleshooting

Soft imagery in the corners

Use the built-in back-focus adjustment to re-calibrate the lens flange distance to your specific camera mount.

Image does not fill full-frame sensor

Ensure you have the DZOFILM Marlin 1.6x Expander installed between the lens and the camera body.

Difficulty focusing on a gimbal

Check the weight distribution on your gimbal; ensure the lens is balanced correctly as the weight is concentrated toward the mount.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, verify that your camera sensor matches the image circle of the lens. While the lens covers a specific format, pairing it with the DZOFILM Marlin 1.6x Expander is necessary for those shooting on full-frame cinema sensors. Always ensure your camera's firmware is updated for accurate lens communication. For cleaning, use an air blower to remove dust particles from the front and rear elements. Use a dedicated optical cleaning solution and a soft microfiber cloth for smudges. When storing, keep the lens in a protective hard case with desiccant packets to prevent moisture buildup or fungus growth in the optical elements.
