DZOFilm PAVO 28 mm T2.1 2× Anamorphic Prime Lens

The DZOFilm PAVO 28 mm T2.1 neutral-coating anamorphic prime delivers a vintage widescreen look with a true 2× squeeze ratio for a 2.39:1 aspect ratio. Its fast T2.1 aperture and 15-element/13-group optical design produce “waterfall” bokeh and elegant, natural-tone horizontal flares.

Housed in a space-gray anodized aluminum-alloy barrel, this compact 4.19″ × 3.74″ lens weighs just 2.65 lb, making it ideal for handheld, gimbal, or drone setups. Interchangeable ARRI PL and Canon EF mounts, a standardized 0.8 MOD gear pitch, and integrated back-focus adjustment ensure seamless integration into any professional rig.
