DZOFilm PAVO 65 mm T2.8 2× Anamorphic Prime Macro Lens

The DZOFilm PAVO 65 mm T2.8 Macro is the first true 2× anamorphic prime with genuine macro capability, delivering dramatic close-up shots at a 1:2 magnification ratio and a minimum focus distance of just 0.366 m. Its fast T2.8 aperture and blue-coated elements produce signature horizontal blue flares and creamy “waterfall” bokeh, even in low-light conditions, making it perfect for artistic, detail-driven filmmaking.

Built with 17 elements in 12 groups and a 16-blade iris, the PAVO Macro 65 mm maintains exceptional sharpness and contrast across the frame while controlling chromatic aberration. Its compact anodized-aluminum barrel, integrated back-focus adjustment, and interchangeable PL/EF mount kit provide versatility for handheld, gimbal, or drone setups.
