Description — DZOFilm 100mm T2.4 2x Anamorphic
The DZOFilm PAVO 100mm T2.4 is an anamorphic prime lens built for cinema and video production. With a fixed 100mm focal length placing it firmly in the telephoto range, this lens is designed for cinematographers who need a dedicated single-focal-length anamorphic optic. The T2.4 maximum aperture, measured in T-stops for precise light transmission accuracy, provides meaningful exposure flexibility across a range of production lighting conditions.
Mounting via a PL Mount, the lens integrates with professional cinema camera systems, and its Super 35 image circle coverage makes it compatible with a broad selection of cinema sensors in that format class. Focus is manual, which suits established cinema workflows where a focus puller handles lens operation independently. The lens weighs 1600g, a practical figure for an anamorphic cinema prime when considering gimbal or handheld configurations.
There is no image stabilization, so external stabilization equipment is advised for moving shots. The lens type is classified as Anamorphic within the prime configuration.
