DZOFILM Pavo 2X Anamorphic Prime 100mm T2.1-Neutral Coating-Pl&ef Mt (M)

DZOFILM Pavo 2X Anamorphic Prime 100mm T2.1 Neutral Coating – Canon EF Mount | Shape widescreen images with precise manual focus

Give dialogue and detail shots a distinctly anamorphic, widescreen feel with the DZOFILM Pavo 2X 100mm T2.1. This is a specialist interchangeable lens for filmmakers who want the character of a 2X anamorphic image and are comfortable building their shots around a prime lens. Its 100mm focal length suits carefully framed close-ups, interviews and inserts where you want to isolate a subject rather than cover a whole scene quickly. The lens has a Canon EF mount, so it fits a Canon EF camera setup. Manual focus makes it a considered tool for planned shots, where you can set focus deliberately and repeat a move. It’s best suited to narrative filmmaking, music videos and other work where the framing and focus can be shaped shot by shot. The T2.1 maximum aperture gives you room to work with less light than a slower setting would allow, while keeping exposure decisions in your hands.

Working with a 2X anamorphic image

The 2X squeeze is part of the look, but it also affects how you judge framing. Plan to view a de-squeezed image on set or in your editing workflow; otherwise, the picture will appear unnaturally narrow before correction. For a dialogue scene, decide on the final widescreen composition first, then place the subject and background with that wider result in mind. That extra planning pays off in shots where the shape of the frame matters as much as the subject itself. This is a prime lens, so changing framing means repositioning the camera rather than zooming.
