Bring the unmistakable look of anamorphic cinematography to your next production with the DZOFilm Arcana 1.5x Anamorphic Prime
lenses. Combining classic anamorphic character with a compact, lightweight design, the Arcana series is engineered for modern cinematographers who demand premium image quality without compromising on mobility.
Designed to cover Full Frame sensors, the Arcana lenses produce beautifully cinematic imagery with a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze, delivering the signature widescreen aesthetic, pleasing oval bokeh, and elegant horizontal flares that have become synonymous with anamorphic filmmaking. Their fast T2.1
aperture offers excellent low-light performance while allowing for shallow depth of field and expressive subject separation.
Despite their cinematic character, the Arcana lenses embrace a modern, practical design. Weighing approximately 700g
each with a compact 80mm front diameter, they are perfectly suited to handheld shooting, Steadicam, gimbal systems, drones, and compact cinema camera builds. Consistent dimensions, gear positions, and handling across the range also make lens changes quick and efficient on set.
Optically, the Arcana series delivers impressive sharpness while retaining a natural, organic rendering. Minimal focus breathing, consistent colour reproduction, and smooth focus fall-off ensure beautiful, cinematic images across a wide variety of productions—from feature films and television drama to commercials, music videos and branded content.
