Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 50 mm T2.4 1.5X S35 Blue lens for Arri PL / Canon EF

Description

The Nanomorph 50 mm T2.4 1.5X S35 Blue is a representative of an innovative series of anamorphic film lenses. Thanks to its 2 interchangeable bayonets, the presented model is compatible with cameras and camcorders equipped with the Arri PL mount and Canon EF mount. It is the world’s smallest anamorphic lens to cover the Super 35 sensor and offers a horizontal image compression ratio of 1.5x, enabling a 2.4:1 aspect ratio on the popular 16:9 sensor. The relatively close focusing distance of 70cm will open up completely new possibilities for image creation, as well as allowing a greater depth of field. The lens will also allow you to create striking cross flares and the artistic oval bokeh known from Hollywood productions. The Blue variant offers a blue flare tint.

Get closer!

Limitations due to the specific optical design mean that the focusing distance of popular anamorphic lenses can sometimes be longer than those of traditional lenses. The Nanomorph series also excels in this field. The unique lenses from Venus Optics Laowa offer some of the shortest minimum focusing distances in the world of anamorphic optics! The Nanomorph 50 mm T2.4 1.5X S35 Blue for Arri PL / Canon EF needs only 70 cm to catch focus. Larger close-ups mean less depth of field and even more beautiful bokeh!
