Description
Product Overview
The DZOFilm PAVO 28/40/75mm Neutral Lens Set combines three true 2× anamorphic Super35 primes with neutral, light-responsive flare characteristics. The 28mm, 40mm and 75mm lenses each offer T2.1–T22 apertures, a 31.5mm image circle, interchangeable ARRI PL/Canon EF mounts and Imperial (feet) focus scales. A coordinated 95mm front diameter, 0.8 MOD gearing and 270° focus travel support professional lens changes. This DZO-PAA3PLIN kit includes a protective hard carrying case.
DZO-PAA3PLIN is the DZOFilm PAVO Neutral Coating three-lens kit containing one 28mm, one 40mm and one 75mm anamorphic prime. Each lens has an aperture range of T2.1–T22, true 2× optical squeeze, a 31.5mm Super35 image circle, a 95mm front diameter, 0.8 MOD gearing, 270° manual focus rotation and an Imperial (feet) focus scale. The 28mm uses 15 elements in 13 groups and focuses to 0.40m; the 40mm uses 15 elements in 14 groups and focuses to 0.45m; the 75mm uses 15 elements in 14 groups and focuses to 0.84m. All close-focus distances are measured from the sensor plane. The kit includes PL/EF conversion components and a hard carry case. It is not an Arcana lens set, not the Blue Coating edition and does not provide native full-frame coverage.
True 2× Anamorphic Super35 Optics
The three PAVO primes provide a fixed 2× horizontal squeeze and 31.5mm image circles for Super35 recording modes. Correct the squeeze when monitoring or finishing footage, then choose the crop for the intended delivery. The set is not described as natively covering a full-frame sensor.
Neutral Anamorphic Flares and Oval Bokeh
Neutral Coating provides horizontal anamorphic flares that respond to the color, angle and intensity of the light source rather than applying a consistent blue-flare signature. Elongated out-of-focus highlights give the 2× optical system its distinctive oval bokeh. Test practical lights and filtration to shape the look on set.
Fast T2.1 Cinema Primes
All three focal lengths operate from T2.1 through T22 with manual iris control. The common T2.1 maximum aperture helps maintain exposure consistency while changing lenses. Iris rotation differs by focal length, so calibrate iris motors individually.
Interchangeable ARRI PL / Canon EF Workflow
The lenses use interchangeable ARRI PL and Canon EF mount hardware, with EF conversion bayonets included in the B&H kit list. Published flange distances are 52mm for PL and 44mm for EF. Check camera compatibility and recalibrate flange or back focus after conversion.
Matched 95mm Cine Fronts and 0.8 MOD Gears
Each PAVO lens has a 95mm front diameter and standard 0.8 MOD geared controls for compatible follow-focus and iris systems. All three feature 270° manual focus rotation and focus marks in feet. Length and weight vary, so balance your rig after each lens change.
Three Neutral Primes with Hard Carry Case
This DZO-PAA3PLIN set includes all three Neutral Coating lenses and a hard carrying case. B&H additionally lists per-lens front and PL rear caps, Canon EF bayonets, EF rear caps, screw packets, shim sets, screwdrivers and sticker sets. Confirm physical accessory counts with Coremicro before dispatch.
28mm — Wide Anamorphic Coverage
A wide 28mm perspective works for establishing shots, environmental scenes and moving camera coverage. Minimum focus is 0.40m / approximately 1ft 4in from the sensor plane. The 28mm lens weighs approximately 1,203g and uses 14 iris blades.
40mm — Dialogue and Medium Shots
The 40mm prime provides a versatile mid-range perspective for two-shots, character interactions and commercial storytelling. Minimum focus is 0.45m / approximately 1ft 6in from the sensor plane. It weighs approximately 1,300g and has 16 iris blades.
75mm — Portraits and Subject Isolation
Use the 75mm prime for portraits, close-ups and selective details with tighter framing and oval highlights. Minimum focus is 0.84m / approximately 2ft 9in from the sensor plane. It weighs approximately 1,466g and has 16 iris blades.
ARRI PL Cinema Cameras
Use the PL mount on compatible Super35 cine cameras and check rear-element clearance before mounting. PL flange distance is specified as 52mm. The 31.5mm native image circle does not guarantee open-gate or full-frame coverage.
Canon EF and Adapted Camera Systems
The kit lists EF conversion bayonets and EF rear caps for each lens. Check the exact camera and mount-adapter stack before use. Camera and adapter compatibility is not universal, and other mount adapters are not included by implication.
Back-Focus and Motor Setup
DZOFilm describes built-in back-focus adjustment on the PAVO family. Verify infinity focus and focus marks after changing mounts or using a different camera. Follow-focus systems should be calibrated for each focal length.
Filter and Front-End Planning
DZOFilm specifies M86 filter size for PAVO, but B&H lists no filter thread for the 28mm in its specification details. Confirm physical threading and accessory fit before ordering screw-in filters. No filters or step rings are assumed included.
Record with an appropriate Super35 sensor mode and enable 2× horizontal de-squeeze on the monitor or in post. De-squeezing doubles the recorded horizontal proportions; the deliverable aspect ratio depends on the source sensor aspect and final crop. 2.39:1 does not follow automatically from every sensor mode. Use common exposure and flare tests across the 28mm, 40mm and 75mm primes, then confirm image-circle coverage, PL/EF mounting and focus calibration before each shoot.
Super35 2× Anamorphic Storytelling
Move from a 28mm establishing shot to 40mm dialogue coverage and 75mm character close-ups while retaining a common 2× squeeze. Plan framing with the selected recording mode and post-production crop.
Light-Responsive Neutral Flares and Oval Bokeh
Shape horizontal flare streaks with the color and placement of practical lights. The neutral coating pairs elliptical highlights with T2.1 exposure control for stylized commercials, interviews and music videos.
Manual PL/EF Lens-Swap Workflow
Matched 95mm fronts and 0.8 MOD gearing help standardize camera accessories. For handheld, gimbal or other stabilized setups, account for each lens weighing approximately 1.2–1.47kg before balancing.
Cinematographers
A coordinated wide, medium and portrait anamorphic set for Super35 narrative or commercial productions.
Camera Assistants
270° focus travel, Imperial marks and geared controls for repeatable, calibrated lens changes.

*Filter fitment note: DZOFilm lists M86 filter size for the PAVO family, while B&H specifies no filter thread for the 28mm lens. Verify physical threading before buying screw-in filters. 40mm optics documentation: DZOFilm specifications and matching Adorama kit data state 15 elements in 14 groups, while some retailer materials list 14 elements in 13 groups. Confirm that discrepancy with DZOFilm if critical to procurement. All weights and dimensions shown are per lens.
Which lenses are included in DZO-PAA3PLIN?
The kit includes one PAVO 28mm T2.1 lens, one PAVO 40mm T2.1 lens and one PAVO 75mm T2.1 lens, all with Neutral Coating and Imperial focus markings. B&H also lists a hard carrying case and per-lens mount and calibration accessories.
Is the PAVO 28/40/75mm set a native full-frame anamorphic kit?
No. The native image circle is 31.5mm, intended for Super35 formats. Selected full-frame workflows may need a separate optical expander and compatible camera configuration; native full-frame coverage is not claimed.
What anamorphic squeeze ratio do these PAVO lenses use?
All three lenses have a true 2× horizontal anamorphic squeeze. Apply 2× de-squeeze when monitoring or in post-production. A final 2.39:1 frame requires an appropriate sensor recording mode and crop.
How is Neutral Coating different from the PAVO Blue Coating version?
Neutral Coating produces source-responsive horizontal anamorphic flares rather than the more consistently blue-streak character associated with the separately sold PAVO Blue Coating version. Both versions maintain 2× squeeze and the same 28mm, 40mm and 75mm focal lengths.
Are both ARRI PL and Canon EF mounts included?
The kit listing identifies interchangeable PL/EF mount hardware and EF conversion bayonets with EF rear caps for each lens. Check flange distance and back-focus calibration whenever a mount is converted.
What are the closest focusing distances for the three focal lengths?
The minimum focus distances, measured from the sensor plane, are 0.40m for 28mm, 0.45m for 40mm and 0.84m for 75mm. These values differ between lenses and are not a single kit-wide minimum focus.
Does the DZOFilm PAVO three-lens kit include a hard case and screw-in filters?
B&H lists a hard carrying case with the 28/40/75mm set. Filters are not listed as included. DZOFilm identifies M86 filter sizing, while the B&H 28mm specification differs, so confirm thread compatibility before choosing screw-in filters.
