DZOFilm Pavo 2x Anamorphic Lens Set - 28/40/75mm - T2.1 - PL/EF Mount - Feet (Blue Coating)

These lenses provide a 2x anamorphic squeeze, resulting in a 2.39:1 aspect ratio when de-squeezed in post-production or monitored with an anamorphic de-squeeze display.

Yes, the DZOFilm Pavo 2x lenses are designed to cover Super 35 sensors without the need for expanders, providing the full anamorphic effect.

The lenses are characterized by their 'waterfall' bokeh, featuring classic oval shapes due to the 16-blade (or 14-blade on the 28mm) aperture.

T2.1 is the T-stop, which measures the actual amount of light transmitted through the lens, offering a more accurate exposure value than an F-stop, especially important for consistency in cinema.

While primarily designed for cinema, they can be used for photography, but their anamorphic nature and focus mechanisms are optimized for video work.

The blue coating contributes to the distinct horizontal blue flare, a signature aesthetic of the Pavo series, which differs from the more neutral or colored flares of other anamorphic lenses.

You need a camera that can record footage that can be de-squeezed in post-production or has an anamorphic de-squeeze monitoring function. The lens mount compatibility is the primary camera requirement.

Ensure you are using the correct lens mount for your camera. If using a full-frame camera, verify that a DZOFILM Marlin expander is properly attached and engaged.

Calibrate the back-focus using the built-in adjustment ring on the lens. Refer to your camera's manual for precise back-focus calibration steps.

Confirm the lens mount (PL or EF) is compatible with your camera body. Check for any obstructions or debris on the lens mount or camera mount.

Use a lens hood or matte box to control stray light. Experiment with light source angles relative to the lens.
