DZOFilm PAVO 32mm T2.1 2x Anamorphic Prime Lens Neutral PL/EF

Wide Environmental Coverage with Controlled Perspective

The 32mm focal length provides a broad Super35 field of view for interiors, environmental framing, establishing coverage, and compositions that place subjects within a larger visual space.

Compared with the wider 28mm PAVO, the 32mm offers a slightly tighter perspective while preserving the 2X squeeze, oval bokeh, horizontal flare behavior, and spatial characteristics of anamorphic imaging.

Fast Operation for Available-Light and Controlled Sets

The PAVO 32mm opens to T2.1, supporting lower-light production environments and selective depth-of-field control while maintaining its wide Super35 perspective.

The aperture range extends to T22, giving cinematographers additional exposure control when moving between interior, exterior, and brighter production-lighting conditions.

Neutral Flare Rendering for Flexible Lighting Design

This exact DZO-PA3221PLIN model is the Neutral configuration of the PAVO 32mm. It produces horizontal anamorphic flare behavior without the dedicated blue coating treatment used by the separate Blue version.

The Neutral option gives cinematographers more flexibility when the color and intensity of practical lights, production fixtures, and other flare-producing sources should remain an active part of the lighting design.

Compact Anamorphic Design for Flexible Camera Builds

The PAVO 32mm measures approximately 105.7mm from the front of the lens to the flange plane and weighs about 1.28kg, giving production crews a compact 2X anamorphic option for professional Super35 camera systems.

Its 95mm front diameter and standardized cine-style layout help simplify matte-box, follow-focus, and lens-change workflows when the 32mm is used alongside other PAVO focal lengths.

Interchangeable Mounting for Professional Cinema Cameras

The PAVO 32mm supports interchangeable PL and EF mounting, allowing camera departments to configure the lens for compatible professional cinema-camera systems.

The PAVO platform also incorporates back-focus adjustment, supporting precise setup when changing mounts or integrating the lens into different camera packages.

Manual Focus and Iris Control for Camera Crews

Standard 0.8 MOD gearing supports compatible follow-focus systems and lens-control motors used in professional cinema workflows.

This DZO-PA3221PLIN configuration uses Imperial focus markings in feet, while the 0.4m minimum focus distance supports closer foreground work and more dynamic subject-to-environment relationships.

What is the DZOFilm PAVO 32mm T2.1 used for?

The DZOFilm PAVO 32mm T2.1 is a Super35 2X anamorphic prime designed for professional cinema production. Its field of view is well suited to environmental compositions, interiors, establishing coverage, and narrative shots that balance a subject with surrounding context.

What anamorphic squeeze does the PAVO 32mm use?

The PAVO 32mm uses a true 2X anamorphic squeeze. Recorded footage should be appropriately de-squeezed during monitoring or post-production to display the intended widescreen image.

What does the Neutral version of the PAVO 32mm produce?

DZO-PA3221PLIN is the Neutral-coated version of the PAVO 32mm. It produces elegant neutral horizontal anamorphic flares and characteristic oval or waterfall-style bokeh without the dedicated blue flare treatment of the separate Blue version.

Is the DZOFilm PAVO 32mm a full-frame lens?

No. The PAVO 32mm is designed for Super35 / APS-C coverage with a 31.5mm image circle. DZOFilm separately supports adapting PAVO lenses to compatible full-frame cinema cameras with its Marlin 1.6X Expander.

How close can the PAVO 32mm focus?

The PAVO 32mm focuses down to 0.4m, or approximately 1.3 ft, measured from the sensor plane. This supports close foreground elements while retaining the broader perspective of the 32mm focal length.

Does the PAVO 32mm support PL and EF mounts?

Yes. The lens uses an interchangeable mounting system for compatible ARRI PL and Canon EF camera configurations. An EF bayonet is included with the lens.

What front diameter and cine gearing does the PAVO 32mm use?

The PAVO 32mm uses a 95mm front diameter, M86 filter thread, and standard 0.8 MOD cine gearing for compatible matte boxes, follow-focus units, and motorized lens-control systems.
