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

When it comes to capturing cinematic visuals, the Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Sony E, Silver Flare, stands out as a high-quality, professional, and innovative choice. This lens, specifically designed for Sony E and Nex camera systems, is the world's smallest anamorphic lens covering Super35 sensors. It weighs a mere 13.75 oz (390g) and measures only 3.78" (96mm) in length, making it a versatile and portable option for various shooting scenarios, including handheld, gimbal, slider, tight spaces, and even drone usage.

The Laowa Nanomorph lens offers a wide T2.4 aperture, providing excellent control over depth of field and superb performance in low-light conditions. Its 1.5x anamorphic squeeze delivers a cinematic look, with a 2.66:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze. This lens outperforms the 1.33x anamorphic lens by providing a more pronounced anamorphic and cinematic look.

The lens is designed for Super35 (APS-C) & Micro Four Thirds sensors, but its larger than S35 coverage allows it to be used on Full Frame cameras like Sony A7siii 4K 16:9 with only mild vignetting. The silver flare option adds a unique touch, offering different flare colors based on the light source.

The Laowa Nanomorph lens also features a short focusing distance, one of the shortest among all anamorphic lenses in the market. This allows filmmakers to capture very close-up shots, rendering a shallower depth of field and stronger bokeh, offering higher flexibility in framing.

This lens guarantees a constant squeeze ratio at all focusing distances, eliminating the issue of anamorphic mumps found in cheaper anamorphic lenses. The 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 readjustment on the focus gear, a 55mm filter thread for screw-in filters, and a 0.8 Mod Gear on both aperture and focus rings. The flange adjustment allows filmmakers to 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 Sony E, Silver Flare, is a durable, versatile, and innovative lens that delivers professional, high-quality, and cinematic visuals.
