The DZOFILM Arcana 45mm T2.1 Full-Frame 1.5× Hybrid Anamorphic Prime Lens is engineered for filmmakers seeking a perfect balance between cinematic character and modern optical performance. With its 1.5× anamorphic squeeze, the lens produces signature oval bokeh and a widescreen look comparable to traditional 2.0× anamorphic lenses, while remaining more practical for contemporary production workflows.
Its sophisticated optical construction of 15 elements in 13 groups—including cylindrical, ED, and high-refractive elements—ensures exceptional center sharpness and consistent edge-to-edge clarity. The distinctive coating design enhances flare behavior, allowing highlights to naturally adopt the color of the light source, adding artistic depth and realism to every shot.
The versatile 45 mm focal length makes this lens ideal for a wide range of scenes—from interviews to narrative filmmaking—offering a natural perspective with cinematic depth. With a close focusing distance of 0.53 m, it also supports more intimate compositions.
Designed for full-frame cameras with a ø43.3 mm image circle, the Arcana 45mm maintains a compact 80 mm length and lightweight 695 g build, ensuring seamless integration with gimbals and rigs without the need for rebalancing. The standardized 77 mm filter thread across the Arcana series simplifies accessory use on set.
Manual focus with a 270° rotation and smooth iris control provide precise, reliable handling for professional cinematography. Finished with a premium titanium coating, the lens combines durability with a refined aesthetic.
