Description — DZOFilm 32mm T2.1 2x
The DZOFilm PAVO 32mm T2.1 is a prime anamorphic cinema lens built for Super 35 format cameras using the PL Mount standard. With a maximum aperture of T2.1, it delivers capable light transmission for a variety of production environments. The lens type is classified as anamorphic and sits within the standard focal length range at a fixed 32mm.
Focus is entirely manual, putting creative control directly in the hands of the operator and making it well suited for narrative and controlled production environments. Weighing 1.3kg, it is built with practical use on stabilized rigs and cinema platforms in mind. Image stabilization is not present in this lens, so external stabilization is required for moving camera work.
