NAB2024–New from NAB

DZOFILM has announced the introduction of three new focal lengths to the PAVO series of anamorphic lenses. New to the lineup are the Macro 65mm T2.8, 135mm T2.5, and 180mm T2.8, which are designed to be versatile, precise, and capable of capturing intricate details.

DZOFILM unveiled these lenses at NAB 2024. Visitors to NAB can take a look at these lenses at their booth.

The 65mm macro lens boasts amazing performance with a minimum focusing distance of 0.366m and a magnification of 1:2, allowing you to capture minute details in their natural beauty.

Main features of the DZOfilm PAVO new focal length series

Macro 65mm magnification (1:2)
controlled chromatic aberration
Oval bokeh and waterfall bokeh
31.5mm image circle covers mainstream S35 format cameras
Lightweight (1.2-2kg) remains the same, focal length expanded

Built-in back focus adjustment

These lenses are compatible with gimbals, Steadicams, and drones. By design, these lenses offer a wide range of shooting setups, from handheld to aerial, for indie filmmakers to large-scale productions.

The entire PAVO series uses a 16-blade aperture (28mm has 14 blades), making it easy to create the classic oval-shaped bokeh of typical anamorphic images. Superior optical design allows precise and effective control.

All nine lenses maintain the same image quality, giving filmmakers more options when making movies. The design is commendable improvement and innovation.

The PAVO series’ full focal range and lightweight design give it a distinct advantage in the market and offer endless creative possibilities. Consistently lightweight (1.2-2kg) across all focal lengths, the PAVO series is poised to redefine the standards of versatility and convenience.
