Description
DZOFILM Arcana 1.5X Anamorphic Rental
The DZOFILM Arcana series is designed to deliver the classic cinematic language of anamorphic cinematography in a compact and highly versatile full-frame format. Combining a 1.5X squeeze ratio with a unique hybrid optical design, the Arcana lenses create the visual depth, oval bokeh, and expressive flare characteristics traditionally associated with larger and more expensive anamorphic systems.
One of the defining characteristics of the Arcana series is its ability to reproduce a visual signature that closely resembles traditional 2X anamorphic lenses while maintaining a lightweight and production-friendly form factor. The lenses produce distinctive waterfall-style oval bokeh, strong subject separation, and a cinematic sense of depth that enhances both narrative and commercial work.
The front-cylindrical optical design preserves a consistent squeeze ratio from close focus to infinity while significantly reducing anamorphic mumps and geometric inconsistencies often associated with traditional anamorphic lenses. This results in a more predictable image throughout the focus range and simplifies post-production workflows.
Arcana lenses generate natural horizontal flares that adapt to the color and intensity of practical light sources, creating an organic anamorphic look without becoming distracting or overpowering. Combined with their controlled contrast and sharp edge-to-edge rendering, the lenses strike a balance between modern optical performance and classic cinematic character.
A major advantage of the Arcana system is its compact and consistent design. All focal lengths share nearly identical dimensions, weight, and handling characteristics, allowing fast lens changes on gimbals, drones, handheld rigs, and the DJI Ronin 4D without requiring rebalancing. Each lens weighs approximately 700g, making the series particularly attractive for lightweight cinema setups and solo operators.
The available DZOFILM Arcana set at Anamorphstudio includes:
• 32mm T2.1 1.5X Anamorphic
• 45mm T2.1 1.5X Anamorphic
• 75mm T2.1 1.5X Anamorphic
All lenses feature full-frame coverage, a consistent T2.1 aperture, PL mount, and unified mechanical design across the set for seamless operation on professional cinema productions.
