Venus Laowa Nanomorph 85mm T2.9 1.5x LF Anamorphic Lens for PL Mount and Canon EF, Blue Flare

For filmmakers and cinematographers seeking unparalleled anamorphic performance, the Laowa Nanomorph 85mm T2.9 1.5x LF Anamorphic Lens for PL Mount and Canon EF, Blue Flare, stands out as a professional-grade optic designed to elevate your visual storytelling. Engineered to cover more than a full-frame sensor, this lens offers a constant 1.5x squeeze ratio, delivering exceptional image quality ideal for theatrical productions and high-end films.

The Laowa Nanomorph lens features a generous image circle of 44.71mm, ensuring optimal coverage and reducing vignetting. This makes it perfectly suited for the ARRI Alexa LF 4.5K Open Gate (44.71mm), maximizing resolution without the need for cropping. The lens accommodates full-frame sensors and supports various formats such as 16:9, 3:2, and 4:3, allowing seamless output to aspect ratios like 2:1, 2.25:1, 2.66:1, and 2.4:1 while maintaining superior image quality.

With its 1.5x squeeze ratio, the Laowa Nanomorph lens achieves a cinematic 2.66:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze, offering a more pronounced anamorphic look compared to traditional 1.33x lenses. This lens ensures consistent bokeh from center to edge, avoiding the distracting "moon-shaped" bokeh seen in other lenses, and instead providing a smooth, organic waterfall focus roll-off in the background.

The lens's iris ranges from T2.9 to T22, allowing for filming in diverse lighting conditions and achieving a stunning shallow depth of field at wide apertures. Its impressive sharpness and contrast make it versatile for various production needs, matching the performance of modern sensors. Even when used wide open, the lens maintains sharp, pristine images suitable for both theatrical and cinematic projects. For those desiring a vintage aesthetic, the lens offers flexibility for post-production adjustments or pairing with filters.

The Laowa Nanomorph lens excels in composition flexibility, avoiding the overcompressed edges and "swimming effect" common in other anamorphic lenses. It provides excellent control over edge performance, enhancing creative freedom in composition. Additionally, its low focus breathing ensures consistent framing and a stable field of view during focus shifts, making it ideal for seamless focus pulls and smooth transitions.

Compact yet prestigious, the Nanomorph LF lenses are half the size and weight of comparable lenses, striking a balance between portability, optical quality, and professional usability. The lens features a sci-fi blue flare coating, catering to various creative preferences and scenarios.

Precision is further enhanced with the lens's extended 270-degree focus throw, allowing for precise adjustments and smooth transitions between focus points. The easy back focus calibration mechanism ensures quick and accurate on-site adjustments. The innovative interchangeable mount system provides versatility, allowing you to switch mounts to match different cameras, with each kit including shims for micro-adjustment of flange depth for a perfect fit every time.

The Laowa Nanomorph 85mm T2.9 1.5x LF Anamorphic Lens is a compact powerhouse, offering filmmakers the tools to craft stunning, professional-quality visuals with ease.
