Venus Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Canon RF, Silver Flare

Over the years, anamorphic lenses have become a staple in Hollywood productions, known for their ability to deliver a cinematic widescreen perspective. The Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Canon RF, Silver Flare, is a game-changer in this field. It's the world's smallest anamorphic lens designed to cover Super35 sensors, weighing a mere 13.75 oz (390g) and measuring just 3.78" (96mm) in length.

This compact lens is a revolution in anamorphic lens design, traditionally known for their large size and weight. Its "nano-sized" structure makes it incredibly versatile, ideal for handheld shooting, gimbal use, slider shots, tight space filming, and even drone usage. The lightweight nature of the Nanomorph series opens up a world of possibilities for drone pilots, overcoming the weight limitations often associated with anamorphic lenses.

Designed specifically for Super35 (APS-C) & Micro Four Thirds sensors, the Nanomorph lens offers larger than S35 coverage. This 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 shots. With a 1.5x squeeze, you can achieve a 2.66:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze, delivering a pronounced anamorphic and cinematic look.

The Nanomorph lens also offers a short focusing distance, a feature not commonly found in anamorphic lenses due to optical design restrictions. This allows filmmakers to capture close-up shots with a shallower depth of field and stronger bokeh, offering greater flexibility in framing.

Unlike cheaper anamorphic lenses, the Nanomorph guarantees a constant squeeze ratio at all focusing distances, eliminating the issue of anamorphic mumps. This patented anamorphic design ensures a uniform squeeze ratio, promising optical quality, compact size, and affordability.

The lens also 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. Filmmakers can fine-tune the back focus quickly with a 0.9mm hex key (included in the package), ensuring accurate and aligned scale after changing cameras. 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 Canon RF, Silver Flare, is a compact, versatile, and innovative solution for filmmakers seeking the cinematic quality of anamorphic lenses without the traditional size and weight constraints.
