DZOFilm PAVO 55 mm T2.1 2× Anamorphic Prime Lens

The DZOFilm PAVO 55 mm T2.1 anamorphic prime lens delivers a true 2× squeeze ratio for a cinematic 2.39:1 widescreen aspect, rendered through neutral-coated optics for clean, color-balanced horizontal flares. Its fast T2.1 aperture and precision 14-element, 13-group optical design produce creamy “waterfall” bokeh with minimal distortion.

Constructed in anodized aluminum alloy with a space-gray finish, the lens is surprisingly compact (4.26″ × 3.74″) and lightweight (2.78 lb), making it well-suited for gimbals, drones, and handheld rigs. Interchangeable ARRI PL and Canon EF mounts, a standardized 0.8 MOD gear pitch, and built-in back-focus adjustment ensure seamless integration into any professional workflow.
