Description
Iconic Cinematic Anamorphic Look & Pro Image Quality
Innovative 1.5x hybrid anamorphic design delivers classic 2x waterfall bokeh and color-shifting horizontal streaking flares. 3 ED ultra-low dispersion, 4 high-refractive and 4 cylindrical lenses ensure sharp clarity, edge detail and low chromatic aberration, with full-frame coverage and consistent T2.1 aperture for professional film-grade aesthetics.
Ultra-Portable 700g Gimbal-Friendly Build
Each lens weighs only 690–710g (≈700g) with compact 80mm length, ideal for handheld, gimbal and Ronin 4D use. Uniform 80mm front diameter supports 77mm filters across the Arcana series, and consistent weight avoids repeated gimbal balancing, streamlining workflow.
Stable Optics & Less Post-Production Work
Front cylindrical lens design ensures constant squeeze ratio from close focus to infinity, effectively suppressing face widening and reducing post-production correction. 48–78cm minimum focus enables versatile close-ups, while full aluminum alloy body with titanium anti-fingerprint coating provides durable, premium finish.
Broad Compatibility for Multi-Platform Shooting
Short rear optical design ensures perfect compatibility with VND filter adapters and autofocus adapter rings. Multi-position PL mount supports vertical shooting and adapts to most camera mounts, seamlessly working with cinema cameras and mirrorless systems for efficient content creation.
Professional Filmmaking for Diverse Creators
Arcana Anamorphic Lens is ideal for film students, upgrading photographers and independent production teams. Backed by DZOFilm, it delivers professional anamorphic quality for short dramas, web series and creative content creation.

Accessory & Filter Compatibility
Key Measurements
-
⭕ Outer Diameter (O.D.): 80mm (Standardized across all three focal lengths: 32mm, 45mm, 75mm).
-
🔄 Front Filter Thread: 77mm (Accepts standard screw-on filters directly).
-
Physical Movement: Internal focus design with unified focus and iris gear positions. (The front element does not telescope or rotate, and you do not need to reposition your follow focus motors when swapping between lenses in the set).
Compatible Matte Boxes (Available to Rent)
Compatible Filters
-
Circular Filters (77mm): Ideal for run-and-gun setups or gimbals. All three lenses accept standard 77mm screw-on filters (such as Variable NDs or UV filters) directly on the front thread.
-
Cinema Filters (4×5.65″): For studio setups, pair these lenses with 4×5.65″ glass filters, such as our 7x TIFFEN 4×5.6 IR ND WW Filter Set, using a rod-mounted or clamped matte box.
Recommended Rigging Accessories
-
Wireless Lens Control: Because all focal lengths share unified gear positions and near-identical weights (~700g), we highly recommend renting the Nucleus-M II Wireless Lens Control System. You can easily swap lenses on set without having to unmount your focus motors or heavily rebalance your gimbal.
-
15mm LWS Lens Support: Even though these lenses are incredibly compact and lightweight for full-frame anamorphics, utilizing a 15mm lens support bracket paired with our Smallrig Adapter Baseplate 15mm is a good safety practice to protect the camera’s PL mount when flying heavy matte boxes and motors.
⚠️ Rigging Notes for Anamorphics
-
Sensor Coverage & Vignetting: These lenses cover Full-Frame sensors. When shooting with the wide 32mm T2.1 on a Full-Frame camera, avoid stacking too many screw-on filters or using a rod-mounted matte box pushed too far forward, as it may induce mechanical vignetting at the corners. For the widest fields of view, a clamp-on matte box setup is the safest choice.
