About Venus Nanomorph LF Cine Lens

Become a visionary filmmaker with the Venus Laowa Nanomorph 42mm T2.9 1.5x LF Anamorphic Lens, designed for PL Mount and Canon EF cameras, featuring an exquisite Amber Flare. This professional-grade anamorphic lens is part of the Laowa Nanomorph 1.5x LF Anamorphic Series, engineered to deliver exceptional image quality for theatrical productions and high-end films. With its constant 1.5x squeeze ratio, this lens offers a pronounced cinematic look, achieving a 2.66:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze, surpassing the capabilities of 1.33x anamorphic lenses.

The Laowa Nanomorph lens boasts an impressive image circle of 44.71mm, ensuring beyond full-frame coverage and reducing vignetting for optimal image quality. It is perfectly suited for the ARRI Alexa LF 4.5K Open Gate (44.71mm), allowing filmmakers to utilize the full resolution without cropping. This lens accommodates full-frame sensors and various formats, including 16:9, 3:2, and 4:3, enabling seamless output to aspect ratios like 2:1, 2.25:1, 2.66:1, and 2.4:1 while maintaining superior quality.

Experience consistent bokeh from center to edge with the Nanomorph LF, eliminating the distracting "moon-shaped" bokeh often seen in other lenses. The lens features a T2.9 to T22 iris range, providing flexibility for filming in diverse lighting conditions and achieving a stunning shallow depth of field. Its smooth, organic waterfall bokeh is a hallmark of sought-after anamorphic characteristics in the film industry.

The Venus Laowa Nanomorph lens delivers outstanding image quality with impressive sharpness and contrast, making it versatile for various production needs. Even when used wide open, the lens maintains sharp, pristine images suitable for cinematic projects. For those desiring a vintage aesthetic, the lens offers 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 provides excellent control over edge performance, eliminating the "swimming effect" and enhancing creative freedom in composition. Its 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 professional-looking visuals.

Compact yet prestigious, the Nanomorph LF lenses are half the size and weight of comparable lenses, balancing optical quality and professional usability. The elegant amber flare coating adds a touch of sophistication, catering to various preferences and usage scenarios.

Precision is at your fingertips with the extended 270-degree focus throw, allowing for meticulous adjustments and smooth transitions between focus points. The easy back focus calibration mechanism facilitates quick on-site adjustments, ensuring optimal performance.

The innovative interchangeable mount system allows you to adapt the lens to different cameras effortlessly. Each lens mount kit includes shims for micro-adjustment of flange depth, guaranteeing a perfect fit every time. Elevate your filmmaking with the Venus Laowa Nanomorph 42mm T2.9 1.5x LF Anamorphic Lens, where compact design meets exceptional optical performance.
