DZOFilm PAVO 135 mm T2.5 2× Anamorphic Prime Lens

The DZOFilm PAVO 135 mm T2.5 anamorphic prime brings telephoto reach to Super 35 cinematography with its 2× compression, delivering creamy “waterfall” bokeh and elegant horizontal flares courtesy of its blue-coated elements. Its bright T2.5 maximum aperture enables low-light work, while the robust aluminum-alloy barrel and interchangeable PL/EF mounts ensure compatibility across a variety of rigs.

Featuring 16 elements in 11 groups and a 16-blade iris, the PAVO 135 mm maintains high contrast and sharpness from center to edge, with minimal chromatic aberration. A generous 270° focus throw and 79° iris throw give precise manual control, and a 1.04 m close-focus distance affords tight framing with true anamorphic character.
