Because the Laowa Nanomorph 60mm T2.9 1.5x Macro 1:2 Anamorphic Lens for PL Mount & Canon EF is the world's first of its kind, it revolutionizes the capabilities of S35 sensors with its groundbreaking 0.5X macro anamorphic design. This innovative lens offers a close focus distance of 24cm (9.45 inches) and a 0.5X magnification, setting a new standard in the realm of cinematic lenses. The T2.9 large aperture allows filmmakers to achieve an incredibly shallow depth of field, producing stunning cinematic footage without the need for diopters. This feature significantly enhances creative storytelling possibilities, offering filmmakers a fresh perspective.
Designed with a default ARRI PL mount and an interchangeable Canon EF mount bayonet, the Nanomorph 60mm lens is versatile and adaptable. Its 1.5x anamorphic squeeze ratio ensures consistent image quality, avoiding the anamorphic mumps that can occur with variable squeeze ratios. This lens excels in low-light conditions, delivering exceptional optical performance and creating organic, smooth oval bokeh and visually captivating cinematic flares.
The Nanomorph 60mm lens is compatible with the Laowa 1.4x Full Frame Expander, transforming it into an 84mm T4 Full Frame 0.5x Macro Anamorphic lens with just a single stop of aperture reduction. Despite this transformation, the lens retains its original specifications, including the minimum focusing distance of 24cm.
Ergonomically designed with a dual scale focus ring, the lens features both metric and imperial measurements, facilitating easy focus adjustments for AD and focus pullers. Its unified gear position aligns with other Nanomorph S35 lenses, allowing for seamless transitions between different focal lengths on set, thus streamlining workflow and reducing setup time.
The lens includes a standardized 0.8 Mod Gear for mounting focus motors, enhancing its usability in professional settings. It also offers six interchangeable mounts, including the default ARRI PL and Canon EF, with optional mirrorless bayonets (E/Z/RF/L) available for purchase, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of camera systems.
Additionally, lens support is available to alleviate the weight burden on the camera mount, and a convenient back focus adjustment mechanism allows for easy optical calibration. By loosening three screws near the lens body and using the on-body lever, users can efficiently adjust the back focus, ensuring precise and accurate focus for every shot. This lens is a must-have for cinematographers seeking to push the boundaries of their creative expression.
