We know that the cinema lens manufacturer – DZOFilm said that they will release their new cine lenses – Pavo 2x Anamorphic Prime Series of lenses in the early months. According to Petapixel, this company has released more information about their price and release date.
Specifications
The DZOFilm’s new cine lenses include 28mm, 32mm, 40mm, 55mm, 75mm, and 100mm focal lengths, each of which features a T2.1 aperture. According to its official, it said that this series of lenses is a great fit for Super35 image sensors and is compatible with EF or PL mount versions. The lenses are available in two different variants: one with a blue streak anamorphic flare, and the other with a gold streak.
All six lenses feature a front diameter of 95mm and are designed to be easily swappable without reconfiguring various filming accessories, like gimbals and drones. That said, the lenses are not identical in weight, weighing between 1.2 and 1.6 kilograms. The lenses have identical 270-degree focus throws, but their aperture throws vary from 58 to 79 degrees. These six cine lenses differ in weight, but they have the same 270-degree focus throws, allowing for precise control over focusing. In terms of their apertures, they vary, ranging from 58 to 79 degrees.
The official says that each Pavo lens is equipped with impressive close-focusing distance. The lenses offer a focus distance from the sensor plane that ranges from 0.4 meters for the 28mm lens to 0.95 meters for the 100mm prime lens. This close-focusing distance allows for capturing detailed and excellent shots.
Additionally, each Pavo lens captures double the horizontal information compared to a traditional spherical lens. When the footage is de-squeezed during post-processing, it results in a wider aspect ratio. Specifically, for a 16:9 image, a 2x anamorphic lens will deliver a 3.55:1 aspect ratio or roughly 32:9.
For the lens’s price, each lens is priced at $5,500. Alternatively, there are two sets available that include three lenses. One set consists of 28mm, 40mm, and 75mm lenses, and this set is $16,000. The other set includes the 32mm, 55mm, and 100mm lenses.
