Description
Product Overview
The DZOFilm PAVO 65mm T2.8 Neutral Macro Lens brings true 2× anamorphic cinema character to Super35 close-ups with more natural, light-responsive flare coloration. This individual Neutral Coating prime combines manufacturer-listed 1:2 macro reproduction, a 0.366m (14.4in) minimum focus distance and 300° manual focus travel for finely controlled product details. Its T2.8–T22 iris, native 31.5mm image circle, interchangeable ARRI PL / Canon EF mount hardware and Imperial distance markings support a precise cinema workflow. Source-responsive horizontal streaks and elliptical bokeh give tabletop and narrative inserts a distinct anamorphic look.
DZO-PAM6528PLIN is one DZOFilm PAVO 65mm T2.8 2× macro anamorphic prime in Neutral Coating with an Imperial (feet) scale. It is not a three-lens kit or the separately sold Blue Coating edition. Native sensor coverage is Super35/APS-C (31.5mm image circle), and optical construction is 17 elements in 12 groups. DZOFilm specifies 1:2 maximum macro reproduction at a 0.366m / 14.4in sensor-plane focus distance. B&H separately lists 2:1 macro reproduction; those conflicting figures should not be treated as equivalent, and the DZOFilm 1:2 value is used here. The lens has 16 iris blades, 300° focus rotation, 73° iris rotation, a 95mm front diameter, manufacturer-listed M86 filter threads, 0.8 MOD cine gearing and 160mm length. Approximate lens weight is 1,963g. Interchangeable ARRI PL and Canon EF mounting is supported with a conversion bayonet among the listed accessories. Native full-frame coverage and an included carrying 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.
Neutral Anamorphic Flares and Oval Bokeh
Neutral Coating renders evenly layered horizontal flare streaks that respond to the color and direction of practical light sources, rather than adding a signature blue tint. The lens also creates elongated out-of-focus highlights. Flare intensity and bokeh depend on lighting, composition, aperture and filtration; test the look before shooting.
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 sensor mode, then apply 2× horizontal de-squeeze for on-set viewing and post-production. De-squeezing does not guarantee a 2.39:1 finished frame; delivery ratio depends on the source recording proportions and crop. For macro shots, measure the 0.366m minimum focus from the camera sensor plane, stabilize subject and camera, and check focus and exposure carefully. The 300° manual focus throw helps refine close-focus transitions, while neutral flare color can be shaped using practical lights and their placement.
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.
Neutral Flares for Detail Sequences
Create light-responsive horizontal streaks and oval background highlights in product campaigns, cinematic inserts and close-ups. Neutral Coating lets practical sources influence flare coloration while lighting tests help control intensity and contrast.
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.

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 Neutral Coating differ from Blue Coating?
Neutral Coating produces light-responsive horizontal flare streaks influenced by the source color and angle, while the separately sold Blue Coating version emphasizes blue streaks. Both variants use a true 2× anamorphic squeeze and offer the same 65mm macro lens specifications.
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-PAM6528PLIN?
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.
