Venus Laowa Nanomorph LF 4-Lens Kit for PL Mount and Canon EF Amber

The Venus Laowa Nanomorph LF 4-Lens Kit is a cutting-edge solution for filmmakers seeking professional-grade anamorphic optics. This comprehensive kit includes 32mm, 42mm, 55mm, and 85mm T2.9 anamorphic lenses, compatible with both PL Mount and Canon EF systems. Designed to cover more than a full-frame sensor, these lenses provide a constant 1.5x squeeze ratio, ensuring exceptional image quality for theatrical productions and high-end films.

The Nanomorph LF series boasts a generous image circle of 44.71mm, which significantly reduces vignetting and offers optimal coverage for widely used cameras like the ARRI Alexa LF 4.5K Open Gate. This extensive coverage supports full-frame sensors and various aspect ratios, including 16:9, 3:2, and 4:3, allowing seamless output to 2:1, 2.25:1, 2.66:1, and 2.4:1 formats without compromising quality.

With its consistent 1.5x squeeze ratio, the Laowa Nanomorph lenses achieve a striking 2.66:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze, delivering a more pronounced anamorphic and cinematic look compared to traditional 1.33x anamorphic lenses. The lenses also ensure consistent bokeh from center to edge, avoiding the distracting "moon-shaped" bokeh often seen in other lenses.

The iris range from T2.9 to T22 across the series allows for filming in diverse lighting conditions, meeting the dynamic demands of on-set production. The lenses create a stunning shallow depth of field at wide apertures, with a smooth, organic waterfall focus roll-off in the background a highly sought-after characteristic in the film industry.

The Nanomorph LF lenses offer outstanding image quality, with impressive sharpness and contrast that match the performance of modern sensors. Even when used wide open, the images remain sharp and pristine, making them suitable for both theatrical and cinematic projects. For those seeking a vintage look, the lenses provide flexibility for post-production adjustments or pairing with filters, empowering cinematographers to explore their creative vision.

Unlike many anamorphic lenses that exhibit overcompressed edges, the Nanomorph LF series offers excellent control over edge performance, minimizing the "swimming effect" and enhancing creative freedom in composition. Low focus breathing ensures consistent framing and a stable field of view during focus shifts, ideal for seamless focus pulls and smooth transitions, resulting in more natural and professional-looking visuals.

The compact design of the Nanomorph LF lenses makes them half the size and weight of comparable lenses, striking a balance between portability, optical quality, and professional usability. Available with sci-fi blue, elegant amber, and neutral silver flare coatings, these lenses cater to various preferences and usage scenarios.

Precision is enhanced with an extended focus throw of 270 degrees, allowing for precise adjustments and smooth transitions between focus points. The easy back focus calibration mechanism enables quick on-site adjustments, while the innovative interchangeable mount system allows users to switch mounts to match different cameras, with each lens mount kit including shims for micro-adjustment of flange depth to ensure a perfect fit every time.
