Setup, Compatibility & Care

Each Pavo lens features a robust all-metal housing designed to withstand heavy daily use on set. To ensure optimal performance, perform the following steps:

  1. Calibration: Use the built-in back-focus adjustment to fine-tune your focus scale with your specific camera mount.
  2. Expansion: When shooting on full-frame cameras, attach the compatible DZOFILM Marlin expander to cover the larger sensor area.
  3. Support: Given the weight distribution, always use a lens support when mounting to smaller camera bodies to prevent stress on the lens mount.
  4. Cleaning: Use only professional lens cleaning solutions and a microfiber cloth on the front and rear elements. Store in a padded, moisture-controlled environment when not in use.
