Venus Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Fuji X, Blue Flare

Because of its innovative design and superior performance, the Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Fuji X, Blue Flare is a game-changer in the world of cinematography. This lens, known as the world's smallest anamorphic lens compatible with Super35 sensors, weighs a mere 12.6 oz (360g) and measures only 3.39" (86mm) in length. This compact size and light weight make it an ideal choice for a variety of shooting scenarios, including handheld, gimbal, slider, tight spaces, and even drone use.

The Nanomorph lens is specifically engineered for Super35 (APS-C) & 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. This lens offers a unique blue flare option, which is a popular choice for sci-fi and cooler vibe productions. However, it can also be used to create a more natural look for human skin tones.

With a 1.5x squeeze, the Laowa Nanomorph lens delivers a 2.66:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze, providing a more pronounced anamorphic and cinematic look compared to a 1.33x anamorphic lens. This lens also offers a wider horizontal field of view and shallower depth of field than spherical lenses, adding to its cinematic appeal.

The Nanomorph lens features a short focusing distance, which is a rarity among anamorphic lenses due to optical design restrictions. This allows filmmakers to capture very close-up shots, resulting in a shallower depth of field and stronger bokeh. This lens also guarantees a constant squeeze ratio at all focusing distances, eliminating the issue of anamorphic mumps found in some cheaper anamorphic lenses.

Laowa's patented anamorphic design ensures a uniform squeeze ratio, excellent optical quality, compact size, and affordable price. The anamorphic blocks are positioned behind the spherical elements and the focusing groups, allowing for a smaller anamorphic block and a tinier lens. This design also ensures a constant squeeze ratio, regardless of focus changes.

The Nanomorph lens features a unified gear position for quick lens switching without focus gear readjustment, a 55mm filter thread for screw-in filters, and industry standard 0.8 mod gear on both aperture and focus rings. It also includes a flange adjustment feature for quick back focus fine-tuning with a 0.9mm hex key (included in the package). Both imperial and metric scales are printed on the lens body for convenience.
