Description
Product Overview
The DZOFilm PAVO 65mm T2.8 Macro Lens brings true 2× anamorphic character to detailed Super35 close-ups. This single Blue Coating cinema prime combines a manufacturer-specified 1:2 macro reproduction ratio, 0.366m (14.4in) minimum focus distance, and a long 300° focus rotation for controlled close-focus pulls. Its T2.8–T22 iris, 31.5mm native image circle, interchangeable ARRI PL / Canon EF mounting hardware and Imperial focus marks make it suited to macro inserts, miniature details and product cinematography. Blue horizontal flares and elliptical bokeh retain a characteristic anamorphic aesthetic.
DZO-PAM6528PLIB is one DZOFilm PAVO 65mm T2.8 2× anamorphic macro prime, Blue Coating version, Imperial (feet) scale. It is not a three-lens set or the Neutral Coating variant. The lens uses a native 31.5mm Super35/APS-C image circle; optical construction is 17 elements in 12 groups. Maximum manufacturer-listed macro magnification is 1:2 at a close focus of 0.366m / 14.4in measured from the camera sensor plane. B&H separately reports 2:1 macro reproduction; that conflicts with DZOFilm's 1:2 statement and is not adopted as an additional capability. The lens has 16 iris blades, 300° manual focus rotation, 73° iris rotation, 95mm front diameter, M86 filter threads, 0.8 MOD cine gears and a 160mm body length. Approximate weight is 1,963g. Mounting options are interchangeable ARRI PL and Canon EF, with an EF conversion bayonet in the listed package. Native full-frame coverage and an included hard carry case are not claimed.
1:2 Macro Reproduction
DZOFilm specifies a maximum 1:2 macro ratio and a 0.366m / 14.4in close focus distance measured from the sensor plane. Capture texture, fine mechanisms and miniature details in an anamorphic close-up. B&H lists 2:1; the manufacturer's 1:2 claim is used here until the difference is resolved.
True 2× Anamorphic Super35 Optics
A true 2× horizontal squeeze produces an anamorphic image on cameras using compatible Super35 recording modes. The native image circle is 31.5mm; apply 2× de-squeeze when monitoring and finishing. Final aspect ratio still depends on the recorded sensor shape and crop.
Blue Flares and Oval Bokeh
The Blue Coating edition is designed to create horizontal blue flare streaks when suitable light sources enter the lens. Oval out-of-focus highlights add anamorphic depth. Lighting, angle and filters will change the prominence of these effects.
300° Precision Focus Travel
A 300° manual focus rotation supports fine control near macro distances. That is different from the 270° travel of many other PAVO primes. Recalibrate follow-focus motors whenever the setup changes, especially on moving close-up shots.
Interchangeable ARRI PL / Canon EF Mounts
The lens is offered with interchangeable PL / EF mounting options, including a Canon EF conversion bayonet in the retailer's box list. Check flange depth, rear clearance and focus calibration when changing mounts or cameras.
95mm Front, M86 Thread and 0.8 MOD Gears
The 95mm front diameter, manufacturer-listed M86 filter thread and standard 0.8 MOD focus/iris gearing support cine rig planning. Confirm actual accessory fit before ordering matte-box adapters, filter rings or external gears; those parts are not assumed included.
0.366m Close Focus for Anamorphic Inserts
Frame close-ups of jewelry, watch mechanisms, miniature surfaces or product textures with a minimum focus distance of 0.366m from the camera sensor plane. Measure the subject distance from the sensor marker, not from the front glass.
T2.8–T22 Manual Iris and 16 Blades
The 65mm macro lens uses a T2.8 maximum aperture and T22 minimum aperture with 16 iris blades. Its manual iris rotates 73°. Use controlled lighting and focus checks for close-up work, where the depth of field can become very shallow.
Aluminum-Alloy Cinema Body
The aluminum-alloy housing measures 160mm long and weighs approximately 1,963g (4.33lb). Its Imperial focus scale, 300° focus throw and 0.8 MOD gears support camera-assistant workflows. Check payload and rebalance stabilized rigs before moving shots.
ARRI PL on Super35 Cinema Cameras
Mount on compatible ARRI PL Super35 cinema bodies using the manufacturer-specified 52mm flange focal distance. Check rear-element clearance and camera sensor mode before shooting; a 31.5mm native image circle is not full-frame coverage.
Canon EF Mount Conversion
The listed package contains a Canon EF bayonet and EF rear cap for mount conversion. Manufacturer flange focal distance for EF is 44mm. Check the camera and adapter configuration before installation; not every mirrorless setup is compatible without additional hardware.
Back-Focus and Macro Focus Calibration
PAVO lenses provide a back-focus adjustment workflow. Confirm infinity focus and close-focus marks after changing mounts or camera bodies. Macro cinematography benefits from carefully calibrated focus motors and repeatable subject measurements.
Full-Frame Use Requires Separate Planning
The 65mm has native Super35 coverage rather than native full-frame coverage. DZOFilm discusses a separately available 1.6× expander for selected full-frame configurations, but coverage and rear-clearance compatibility must be checked per camera. No expander is included.
Shoot in a compatible Super35 recording mode, then select 2× horizontal de-squeeze for accurate framing on-set and in post-production. De-squeeze alone does not guarantee a 2.39:1 final aspect ratio: delivery framing also depends on sensor readout and crop. For macro work, measure focus from the sensor plane, secure the subject or camera against vibration, and check exposure and focus as you move toward 0.366m. Use the 300° manual focus throw to refine close-focus transitions and test practical lights to control Blue Coating streaks.
2× Anamorphic Macro Inserts
Capture product textures, engraving, dial details and small mechanical parts with 1:2 manufacturer-listed reproduction and a 0.366m focus limit. Stabilize the subject and use a precise focus move for reliable detail shots.
Blue Flare Detail Sequences
Introduce controlled horizontal blue streaks and elliptical background highlights in cinematic inserts, product campaigns and close-ups. Lighting tests help define flare strength without promising identical streaks in every scene.
Precision Manual Focus on PL / EF Systems
The long 300° focus throw and standard 0.8 MOD gearing support deliberate macro focus pulls. Allow for a roughly 1.96kg lens on handheld, slider or gimbal rigs and verify mounting, power and focus-motor clearance.
Cinematographers
True 2× Super35 macro imaging with Blue Coating flares for narrative and commercial detail sequences.

Macro reproduction discrepancy: DZOFilm specifies a 1:2 maximum magnification ratio at 0.366m, but the B&H specification page lists a 2:1 macro reproduction ratio. This description prioritizes DZOFilm's 1:2 figure and does not claim 2:1 close-up reproduction. Confirm with DZOFilm for a procurement-critical use case. Dimensions and weight describe the lens itself, not the shipping package.
Is the DZOFilm PAVO 65mm T2.8 a macro lens?
Yes. DZOFilm describes the PAVO 65mm T2.8 as a macro anamorphic prime with a 1:2 maximum magnification ratio and 0.366m close-focus distance. It combines that close-up capability with a true 2× anamorphic squeeze.
What is the minimum focusing distance of the 65mm macro?
Minimum focus is 0.366m / 14.4in, measured from the camera sensor plane rather than from the lens front. The lens has a 300° manual focus rotation for precise adjustment.
What does 1:2 macro magnification mean?
At 1:2 reproduction, a subject is recorded at half its real-world size on the sensor in the relevant reproduction measurement. This is the ratio stated by DZOFilm for the 65mm lens. B&H also lists 2:1, a conflicting figure that should be verified with the manufacturer.
Does the PAVO 65mm T2.8 provide native full-frame coverage?
No. The native image circle is 31.5mm for Super35/APS-C. Certain larger-format configurations may use separately sold optical expansion, subject to camera and accessory compatibility checks.
How does Blue Coating compare with Neutral Coating?
The Blue Coating lens emphasizes blue horizontal anamorphic flare streaks under suitable lighting. Neutral Coating is a separately sold alternative with more source-responsive flare colors. Both retain the PAVO 2× anamorphic optical format.
Are ARRI PL and Canon EF mounting options provided?
The lens supports interchangeable ARRI PL and Canon EF mounts. The B&H individual-lens contents list an EF conversion bayonet and EF rear cap. Confirm camera compatibility and back-focus calibration after conversion.
Is a hard carrying case included with DZO-PAM6528PLIB?
A hard carrying case is not listed in the published B&H package contents for this individual 65mm lens. Front and rear caps, EF mount hardware, screw packets, a shim set, a screwdriver and stickers are listed. Ask Coremicro to verify physical contents before ordering.
