DZOFilm Pavo 2x Anamorphic Prime Macro 65mm T2.8 - Neutral Coating - PL&EF Mount (metre)
The DZOFilm Pavo 2x Anamorphic 65mm T2.8 Macro lens is a professional cinematographic lens designed to combine the iconic anamorphic aesthetic with macro capabilities. This makes the lens a versatile tool for filmmakers who want to create visually compelling film stories. Developed for Super 35 sensors, this lens features a 2x compression ratio, resulting in a 2.39:1 widescreen format with distinctive anamorphic characteristics such as oval bokeh and subtle, neutral lens flares. The maximum T2.8 aperture ensures excellent low-light performance and allows filmmakers to capture sharp, vivid images with precise control over depth of field for beautiful background blur. The 1:2 macro magnification and minimum focusing distance of 0.366 metres enable detailed close-ups, ideal for capturing fine textures and small details in film productions.
The 65mm T2.8 Macro lens ensures a consistent visual style on set and smooth transitions between shots. The neutral coating produces balanced, natural flares without the pronounced blue tint of other Pavo lenses, offering more flexibility in colour correction in post-production. The advanced optical design minimises chromatic aberrations and distortion, delivering sharp, detailed images with accurate colour reproduction. This lens is ideal for capturing scenes with rich textures, from macro shots of small objects to compositions with a standard focal length, while maintaining the beloved anamorphic look.
The DZOFilm Pavo 65mm T2.8 Macro is constructed with an all-metal body in an elegant black and space grey finish. Weighing approximately 1.6 kg, the compact and lightweight design is suitable for handheld, gimbal or drone setups, while the robust construction ensures reliability in demanding production environments. The lens features smooth and precise focus and aperture rings with metric scale markings and a 270° focus rotation, which is essential for precise manual focusing in cinematographic applications. Standard 0.8 MOD gears ensure compatibility with professional follow focus systems and increase versatility on set.
Equipped with interchangeable PL and EF mounts, the Pavo 65mm integrates seamlessly with a wide range of cameras, from ARRI to Canon and RED models. The lens supports 95mm front filters via a matte box, allowing filmmakers to adjust their images with ND filters, polarising filters or other accessories. The short focus distance and macro capabilities set this lens apart and offer creative flexibility for detailed close-ups while maintaining the anamorphic aesthetic.
