DZOFilm 2x anamorphic Prime 180mm T2.8 -Neutral Coating- PL&EF mount (meter)

The DZOFILM DZO-PA18028PLMN PAVO 2x Anamorphic Prime 180mm T2.8 - Neutral Coating - PL&EF Mount is a high-quality anamorphic lens designed for filmmakers seeking a vintage cinematic aesthetic with modern performance. With a focal length of 180 mm and a maximum aperture of T2.8, this lens is optimized for Super35 sensors, delivering a 2.39:1 aspect ratio and a distinctive “waterfall” elliptical bokeh that adds depth and drama to images. The neutral coating produces soft horizontal flares that adapt to the ambient light’s tone, ensuring a clean cinematic look without sacrificing sharpness. This makes it ideal for productions such as films, documentaries, commercials, and mid-to-high-budget broadcasts.

The advanced optical construction of the PAVO 180mm is designed to minimize chromatic aberrations and distortions, delivering sharp images from center to edge with vibrant color rendering and natural skin tones. The 16-blade iris creates a soft, oval bokeh, isolating subjects against a creamy background, perfect for portraits and emotional scenes. The focus ring, with a 300° rotation, offers smooth and precise manual control, while the standard 0.8 MOD gears for focus and aperture ensure compatibility with professional follow focus and matte box systems. The minimum focus distance of 0.61 m is among the shortest for an anamorphic lens, allowing exceptional versatility for close-up shots.

Weighing just 1.95 kg and featuring a front diameter of 95 mm, the DZO-PA18028PLMN is compact and lightweight for an anamorphic lens, making it perfect for setups on drones, gimbals like the DJI Ronin 2, Steadicam, or handheld shooting. The included PL mount can be easily swapped with the provided EF bayonet, offering compatibility with cameras such as the ARRI Alexa Mini, RED Komodo, and Canon C70. The integrated back-focus adjustment allows for precise adaptations without disassembling the lens, streamlining workflow on dynamic sets. The black and space-gray metal design, inspired by sci-fi spaceships, is both durable and functional, with an operating temperature range of -20°C to +45°C.

Part of the PAVO series, which includes focal lengths from 28 mm to 180 mm, this lens can be used with the DZOFILM Marlin 1.6x expander to adapt to full-frame cameras, further enhancing its versatility. The manufacturer’s 1-year warranty, extendable through partner programs like Duclos Service+, ensures reliability for long-term productions. With a compressed field of view and superior optical quality, the DZO-PA18028PLMN is designed to create immersive images that captivate audiences, making it an essential investment for professional filmmakers.
