Venus Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Leica L, Silver
What sets the Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens apart is its revolutionary design and functionality. As the world's smallest anamorphic lens that covers Super35 sensors, it weighs a mere 13.75 oz (390g) and measures only 3.78" (96mm) in length. This compact size and light weight make it incredibly versatile, ideal for handheld use, gimbal setups, sliders, and even drone filming. This lens is specifically designed for Super35 (APS-C) and Micro Four Thirds sensors, but its larger than S35 coverage allows it to be used on Full Frame cameras like the Sony A7siii 4K 16:9 with only mild vignetting. The silver flare version of this lens offers a unique flare color based on the light source, adding an artistic touch to your footage.The Laowa Nanomorph lens provides a cinematic widescreen perspective, a feature often seen in big-budget Hollywood productions. With a 1.5x squeeze, you will achieve a 2.66:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze. This gives a more pronounced anamorphic and cinematic look compared to a 1.33x anamorphic lens. The 1.5x squeeze ratio also produces stretched oval bokeh, adding a unique artistic touch to your images. This ratio gives a stronger sense of compression and more oval bokeh. One of the standout features of the Nanomorph lens is its short focusing distance. Unlike other anamorphic lenses that have longer closest focusing distances due to optical design restrictions, the Nanomorph offers one of the shortest close focusing distances among all anamorphic lenses in the market. This allows filmmakers to capture very close-up shots, rendering a shallower depth of field and stronger bokeh, providing higher flexibility in framing.The Nanomorph lens also eliminates the issue of anamorphic mumps, a common problem in cheaper anamorphic lenses. This ensures a constant squeeze ratio at all focusing distances. Laowa's patented anamorphic design guarantees a uniform squeeze ratio, promising optical quality, compact size, and affordability. The anamorphic blocks are positioned behind the spherical elements and the focusing groups, compressing the image and allowing for smaller anamorphic blocks. This design ensures a constant squeeze ratio, regardless of focus changes.The lens also features a unified gear position for quick lens switching without readjustment on the focus gear, a 55mm filter thread for screw-in filters, industry-standard 0.8 mod gear on both aperture and focus rings, and a flange adjustment for quick back focus fine-tuning. Both imperial and metric scales are printed on the lens body for convenience. In summary, the Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Leica L, Silver Flare is a compact, lightweight, and versatile lens that delivers high-quality, cinematic images, making it a valuable addition to any filmmaker's toolkit.
