Hands down, one of the best purchases I've ever made for my students. Do yourself a service and get one. The only problem is that they are ALWAYS on backorder. I think they must make each one to order. (This is not a complaint about ADORAMA. They are amazing)

Over the years, anamorphic lenses have become synonymous with the cinematic look that many filmmakers strive for, and the Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Micro Four Thirds is a game-changer in this realm. As the world's smallest anamorphic lens designed to cover Super35 sensors, this lens is a marvel of engineering, offering a unique combination of professional-grade features in a compact form factor.
The Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 lens boasts a front anamorphic design, which is essential for achieving the classic anamorphic characteristics such as horizontal lens flares and an oval bokeh. These visual elements contribute to the storytelling by adding a layer of depth and emotion to the footage. The silver flare version of this lens adds a distinctive touch, producing flares that vary in color based on the light source, thus enabling cinematographers to create visually striking scenes.
With a 1.5x constant squeeze ratio, the Laowa Nanomorph lens delivers a widescreen aspect ratio of 2.66:1 on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze, which is more pronounced than what you would get from a 1.33x anamorphic lens. This feature ensures that your footage will have that sought-after cinematic look without the excessive bulk or image waste associated with higher squeeze ratios.
One of the standout features of this lens is its incredibly short close focusing distance of 23.6 inches, which is a rarity among anamorphic lenses. This allows filmmakers to capture close-up shots with a shallow depth of field and pronounced bokeh, offering greater flexibility in framing and composition.
Laowa has addressed the common issue of anamorphic mumpsf where the squeeze ratio changes at different focusing distancesf by ensuring a constant squeeze ratio throughout the focusing range. This is achieved through a patented anamorphic structure that places the anamorphic elements behind the spherical elements and focusing groups, maintaining optical quality and uniformity.
The lens's user-interchangeable mounts add to its versatility, making it suitable for a variety of camera systems. Additionally, the unified gear position allows for quick lens changes without the need to readjust focus gear, which is invaluable in fast-paced shooting environments.
For added convenience, the lens features a 55mm filter thread, allowing filmmakers to attach screw-in filters directly to the lens. This is particularly beneficial for run-and-gun shooting or when using a drone. The industry-standard 0.8 mod gear on both the aperture and focus rings ensures compatibility with a wide range of follow focus systems.
Finally, the lens offers a flange adjustment feature, which allows filmmakers to fine-tune the back focus with a 0.9mm hex key (included), ensuring that the focus scale remains accurate across different cameras. The dual scale, with both imperial and metric measurements, provides additional convenience for international productions.
In summary, the Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Micro Four Thirds is a compact, lightweight, and versatile tool that brings the cinematic anamorphic look to a wider range of filmmakers and videographers. Whether you're shooting handheld, on a gimbal, or with a drone, this lens opens up a world of creative possibilities without compromising on professional image quality.
