DZOFILM Arcana Prime T2.1 Full-frame 1.5X Hybrid Anamorphic Prime Lens (PL mount)
Art.Nr.Full-frame 1.5x anamorphic cine primes with T2.1 speed, compact build, and a distinctive cinematic look for modern lightweight productions.
The DZOFILM Arcana Anamorphic lenses are a full-frame 1.5x hybrid anamorphic prime series designed for filmmakers who want a strong anamorphic look in a compact, production-friendly form factor. The series combines a constant T2.1 aperture, a lightweight body of around 700 g, and a consistent mechanical design that works especially well for handheld, gimbal, and fast-paced cinema workflows.
Arcana is built to deliver the visual character many users expect from anamorphic optics while keeping handling simple and accessible. DZOFILM highlights the series for its 2X-style waterfall bokeh, natural streak flares created by the front cylindrical optical design, and 12K+ resolving power. The lenses also use up to 3 ED elements to reduce chromatic aberration and maintain clean color and edge performance.
A major practical strength of the Arcana range is its consistency across the lineup. The lenses share an 80 mm front diameter, 270° focus throw, 14-blade iris, and M77 filter thread, helping crews move faster when swapping lenses and keeping accessories more streamlined on set. This makes the series well suited for owner-operators, small studios, film students, independent productions, and rental environments looking for anamorphic style without the size and complexity of larger traditional anamorphic systems.
With close-focus distances down to 0.48 m, PL mount design, and compatibility with gimbal-oriented workflows including Ronin 4D and RS3/RS4-class setups, Arcana is positioned as a flexible entry point into full-frame anamorphic shooting. It is fully manual, with no electronic communication, autofocus, or Cooke /i support.
