On the show floor at IBC 2023, we paid a visit to DZOFILM’s booth to meet the company’s Marketing Manager Susanne Wu who was kind enough to walk us through their newly-announced, relatively affordable PAVO 2x anamorphic lens series. Let’s take a look!
DZOFILM’s first-ever anamorphic lens series was first teased right before NAB 2023 in Las Vegas when the company announced that a 6-piece 2x anamorphic lens series was just around the corner.
However, feedback collected at that time partially forced the company back to the drawing board, causing a 6-month delay in manufacturing. Nevertheless, these competitive lenses are (almost) here, and my colleague Nino was fortunate to get an early hands-on experience.
Although we already have covered these lenses in detail in a recent article, let me quickly sum up some of the key features of the PAVO 2x anamorphic series for you:
Initially, the company started designing these lenses with pin-cushion distortion but decided to switch to barrel distortion instead. According to Susanne, the lenses offer good optical performance with minimal focus breathing. Moreover, she claims that a longer focal length will join the series next year.
The new DZOFILM PAVO 2x anamorphic lenses are now available to pre-order starting at $5,499 per piece. Alternatively, you can purchase a 6-piece set for $30,999.

What do you think of the new DZOFILM PAVO 2x anamorphic lenses? Do you believe DZOFILM can compete with other well-established anamorphic lens manufacturers? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below!
