DZOFILM Pavo 2X Anamorphic Prime 135mm T2.5 - Blue Coating - Pl&ef Mount (Meter)

DZOFILM Pavo 2X Anamorphic Prime 135mm T2.5 - Blue Coating - Canon EF Mount | A deliberate telephoto look for filmmaking

The Pavo 2X gives filmmakers a telephoto anamorphic prime with a 2x squeeze, so the recorded image needs to be de-squeezed for normal proportions. That makes it a considered choice for people building a specific widescreen look, rather than a general-purpose lens for quick reframing. Its long focal length suits tightly framed dialogue, details and carefully composed shots where you can control camera position. The blue coating is part of this version’s identity, while the Canon EF mount makes it relevant to filmmakers working with that system. Focus is manual, which gives you direct control over focus changes but rewards preparation on set. If you’re planning a scene around a deliberate frame and can take time to compose and focus, this prime is made for that measured approach to video and filmmaking.

Planning the anamorphic image

Allow for the 2x squeeze when judging the final composition: the image as recorded will look horizontally compressed until it’s de-squeezed in your viewing or editing workflow. That step is important when assessing faces, framing and the balance of elements across the frame. It’s worth planning for from the start, rather than making composition decisions from the unsqueezed recording alone.
