The DZOFILM Arcana is a 32mm 1.5X hybrid anamorphic cine lens in PL mount that covers full-frame sensors at a constant T2.1. It produces oval bokeh and horizontal flares while staying sharp across the frame, and its roughly 700g aluminum body suits handheld, gimbal and drone work. The 1.5X squeeze holds from close focus to infinity, so faces stay natural and post correction is minimal. Owners rate it highly for center sharpness, build and value, though some find edge distortion stronger than expected on wide shots and the anamorphic character subtle in flat light.

The Arcana 1.5X Anamorphic is a 32mm full-frame cine lens with a PL mount and a constant T2.1 aperture. It uses a hybrid anamorphic design with a 1.5X squeeze. The look includes oval bokeh, horizontal flares and a wide cinematic aspect ratio.
The squeeze ratio stays at 1.5X from close focus to infinity. The front cylindrical design is meant to limit distortion and the "mumps" effect on faces. The body is aluminum alloy with a titanium-tone finish. The lens is fully manual and has no electronic components.
It weighs around 700g and has an 80mm front diameter. That suits handheld, gimbal and drone shooting. The front diameter and gear placement are standardized across the Arcana series, so matte boxes and follow focus systems can stay in place when you swap lenses. It takes 77mm filters.
