DZOFilm Pavo 2x Anamorphic Prime 180mm T2.8 - Neutral Coating - PL&EF mount (metre)

The DZOFilm 2x Anamorphic Prime 180mm T2.8 is an anamorphic cinema lens with neutral coating, designed for Super35 sensors. With a maximum aperture of T2.8 and a 2x squeeze ratio, this lens delivers elliptical “waterfall” bokeh and soft horizontal flares. Compatible with PL and EF mounts, it’s ideal for cinematic productions and shoots using, for example, drones or stabilisers.

The advanced optical construction of the 180mm lens is designed to minimise chromatic aberration and distortion, delivering sharp images from centre to edge, with vivid colour reproduction and natural skin tones. The 16-blade iris creates a soft, oval bokeh that separates subjects from a creamy background, ideal for portraits and emotional scenes. The focus ring with a 300° rotation offers smooth, highly precise manual control, while the standard 0.8 MOD gears for focus and iris ensure compatibility with professional follow-focus and matte box systems. The minimum focusing distance of 0.61 m is among the shortest for an anamorphic lens, providing exceptional versatility for close-ups.

Weighing just 1.95 kg and featuring a 95 mm front diameter, this lens is compact and lightweight for an anamorphic lens, making it perfect for use on drones, gimbals such as the DJI Ronin 2, Steadicam, or handheld shoots. The included PL mount can easily be swapped for the supplied EF mount, offering compatibility with cameras such as the ARRI Alexa Mini, RED Komodo and Canon C70. The integrated back-focus adjustment enables accurate tuning without disassembling the lens, significantly streamlining workflow on dynamic sets. The black and space-grey metal design combines a premium, modern look with an extremely robust build and is engineered to perform reliably within an operating temperature range of -20°C to +45°C. An ideal choice for filmmakers who want their images to stand out.
