DZOFilm PAVO 135mm T2.5 2x Anamorphic Prime Lens Neutral PL/EF

Stronger Compression and Subject Isolation at 135mm

The 135mm focal length expands the PAVO series into telephoto anamorphic coverage. Its longer perspective compresses environmental space and supports a shallower depth of field, helping separate subjects from surrounding elements.

The 2X anamorphic design retains the elliptical bokeh and widescreen rendering of the PAVO family, making this focal length particularly useful for close coverage, portrait-style compositions, and dramatic character-focused scenes.

Neutral Anamorphic Flares for Flexible Cinema Lighting

This exact DZO-PA13525PLIN model is the Neutral flare version of the PAVO 135mm. Its anamorphic optical design produces evenly layered horizontal flare characteristics while avoiding the dedicated blue streak treatment of the alternate version.

DZOFilm also offers a separate Blue flare version of the 135mm. Neutral and Blue models are distinct product configurations, so flare type should be matched carefully when expanding an existing PAVO lens set.

Extend the PAVO System into Longer-Lens Anamorphic Coverage

The PAVO 135mm extends the lens family into telephoto coverage while maintaining the 95mm front diameter, M86 filter thread, and cine-style mechanical layout used throughout the PAVO production system.

At approximately 1994g, the 135mm provides longer-lens compression and subject isolation while remaining part of the same Super35 2X anamorphic platform.

Interchangeable Mounting for Professional Cinema Cameras

The PAVO 135mm supports interchangeable PL and EF mounts, allowing camera departments to configure the lens for compatible professional cinema-camera systems without changing to a different optical series.

DZOFilm also incorporates back-focus adjustment into the PAVO system, allowing crews to make precise setup corrections when changing cameras or mount configurations.

Manual Lens Control for Professional Camera Crews

Standard 0.8 MOD gearing allows compatible follow-focus units and lens-control motors to interface with the PAVO 135mm during professional production.

This DZO-PA13525PLIN configuration uses Imperial focus markings in feet, making it appropriate for camera departments working with feet-based focus-distance measurements.

What is the DZOFilm PAVO 135mm T2.5 used for?

The DZOFilm PAVO 135mm T2.5 is a Super35 2X anamorphic telephoto prime designed for professional cinema production. Its longer focal length is useful for tighter compositions, compressed perspective, shallow depth of field, and strong subject isolation.

What anamorphic squeeze does the PAVO 135mm use?

The PAVO 135mm uses a true 2X anamorphic squeeze. Recorded footage must be appropriately de-squeezed during monitoring or post-production to display the intended widescreen image.

What does the Neutral flare version look like?

The DZO-PA13525PLIN is the Neutral flare version of the PAVO 135mm. It produces evenly layered horizontal anamorphic streak flares without the dedicated blue streak treatment used by the separate Blue version.

Does the PAVO 135mm support PL and EF mounts?

Yes. The lens uses an interchangeable mount system with PL and EF configurations for compatible professional cinema cameras.

How close can the PAVO 135mm focus?

The PAVO 135mm has a minimum focus distance of 0.99m, or approximately 3 ft 3 in, measured from the camera sensor plane.

What front diameter and filter size does the PAVO 135mm use?

The PAVO 135mm uses a 95mm front diameter and an M86 filter thread. It also uses standard 0.8 MOD cine gearing for compatible follow-focus and lens-control systems.
