    DZOFilm Pavo 40mm 2x Anamorphic T2.1 (S35) Neutral brings a true 2x anamorphic workflow to Super35 productions with precise control of artifacts. The neutral coating keeps horizontal flares restrained and color-accurate, preserving contrast for multicam broadcast and streaming pipelines. A fast T2.1 aperture is maintained across the PAVO family, yielding oval bokeh and scope-like separation while holding edge definition.

    The optical block uses 15 elements in 14 groups with a 16-blade iris to keep highlights round through the stop range. Coverage reaches a 31.5 mm image circle for S35 sensors, enabling 4:3 or 6:5 capture and a straightforward desqueeze to 2.39:1. Focus mechanics provide a long, repeatable 270° throw with 0.8 Mod standard cine gears for precise pulls on hand units cleanly. Minimum object distance is 0.45 m (1.5 ft), unusually close for a 2x anamorphic, allowing expressive close-ups with strong separation while maintaining subject integrity.

    For rigging flexibility, the Pavo includes interchangeable PL and EF mounts and an internal back-focus adjustment to fine-tune flange tolerance across camera platforms. Mechanical tolerances support remote heads, gimbals and studio follow-focus, with consistent markings across the range to simplify builds. Neutral flare behavior aids key control under LED volumes and stage lighting where stray streaks can obscure skin tone, virtual sets or broadcast graphics.

    In narrative, documentary, television and live streaming environments, the 40 mm position supplies a natural perspective with gentle horizontal expansion—wide enough for interiors, yet selective at T2.1 for subject isolation. The DZOFilm Pavo 40mm 2x Anamorphic T2.1 balances character with discipline: stable geometry, controlled breathing, accurate color, predictable 2x squeeze and reliable matching with companion focal lengths for uniform colorimetry and exposure.

    2X Compression Factor for Authentic Anamorphic
    The PAVO series comprises 28mm to 100mm focal lengths with a 2X compression ratio. This expansion of the cinematic scope allows for the inclusion of additional details, resulting in a more dramatic depth of field.

    It achieves a genuine anamorphic look that immerses viewers in a visually spectacular world, while maintaining a harmonious and unified visual style across the entire series, making it the ideal choice for professional film production.

    Unparalleled Compact Anamorphic
    With its solid and lightweight design, the PAVO features a front diameter of only 95mm and weighs between 1.2 and 1.6 kg. This versatility allows for seamless integration with a range of filming accessories, such as gimbals, Steadicams, and drones.

    Whether you're navigating handheld shots, shoulder-mounted rigs, vehicle-mounted setups, or aerial cinematography, PAVO offers the adaptability you need. Its precise construction and superior optical performance offer limitless creative possibilities for indie filmmakers and large-scale productions.

    Modern Ergonomics, Cinematic Artistry
    PAVO captures stunning imagery even in low-light shooting scenarios with a T2.1 aperture (28mm to 75mm) and T2.4 at 100mm. Its 14–16 blades of round iris create captivating oval-shaped bokeh and a mesmerizing 'waterfall' background blur, delivering a dreamlike aesthetic.

    Revolutionary Close Focus
    The PAVO series overcomes anamorphic limitations with a phenomenal minimum focus distance of 0.4m, perfect for capturing subtle facial expressions and using close-ups to create immersive and engaging visuals that resonate with viewers. This lens set is an ideal tool for filmmakers seeking to add depth and nuance to their storytelling.

    Futuristic Design, Dual Flare
    PAVO offers two different horizontal flare colors, Blue and Neutral, to cater to a wide range of movie genres and visual styles. The dark gray exterior design takes inspiration from the futuristic aesthetics of iconic sci-fi spaceships and blends the essence of modern design into its construction. 

    The Blue version is adorned with cobalt ink, while the Neutral version is elegantly embellished with vermilion ink.

    Superb Visuals for Immersive Brilliance
    PAVO provides exceptional resolution with precise control, ensuring negligible breathing effects even at longer focal lengths. The innovative design minimizes chromatic aberration, resulting in sharp, crisp images with accurate color rendering. PAVO provides a smooth transition between in-focus and out-of-focus images with a characteristic anamorphic look.

    Versatile Design, Flex Adaptation
    PAVO lenses feature a built-in back-focus adjustment, enabling precise adjustments while the lens is mounted, streamlining operational processes. Additionally, these lenses can adapt to full-frame cinema cameras using the Marlin 1.6X Expander, broadening compatibility across various shooting scenarios and meeting the demands of professional film production.
