With the Venus Laowa Nanomorph LF 4-Lens Kit, featuring 32mm, 42mm, 55mm, and 85mm T 2.9 anamorphic lenses, filmmakers can elevate their cinematic storytelling to new heights. Designed for PL Mount and Canon EF cameras, this professional-grade anamorphic lens series offers a constant 1.5 x squeeze ratio, ensuring exceptional image quality that is ideal for theatrical productions and high-end films. The Laowa Nanomorph lenses are engineered to cover more than a full-frame sensor, boasting a generous image circle of 44.71 mm. This design minimizes vignetting and provides optimal coverage for popular formats like ARRI Alexa LF 4.5K Open Gate, while maintaining the full resolution without cropping.
The lenses support full-frame sensors and various aspect ratios, including 16:9, 3:2, and 4:3, allowing seamless output to 2:1, 2.25: 1, 2.66: 1, and
2.4: 1 formats.
Achieving a 2.66: 1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze, the Laowa Nanomorph lenses deliver a more pronounced anamorphic and cinematic look compared to traditional 1.33 x anamorphic lenses. The consistent bokeh across the frame eliminates the distracting "moon-shaped" effect, providing a smooth and organic waterfall focus roll-off in the background, a hallmark of sought-after anamorphic characteristics. The lenses feature an iris range from T 2.9 to T22, enabling versatile filming in various lighting conditions and achieving stunning shallow depth of field effects. The impressive sharpness and contrast make these lenses highly adaptable for diverse production needs, maintaining pristine image quality even when used wide open. For those seeking a vintage aesthetic, the lenses offer flexibility for post-production adjustments or pairing with filters. The Nanomorph LF lenses excel in composition flexibility, avoiding the overcompressed edge effect seen in many anamorphic lenses, thus preserving the size and shape of objects across the frame. This control over edge performance enhances creative freedom for cinematographers. Low focus breathing ensures consistent framing and a stable field of view during focus shifts, making these lenses ideal for seamless focus pulls and smooth transitions.
The compact design of the Nanomorph LF lenses, half the size and weight of comparable lenses, strikes a balance between portability and exceptional optical performance, making them suitable for a wide range of productions. Available with sci-fi blue, elegant amber, and neutral silver flare coatings, the lenses cater to various creative preferences and scenarios. The extended 270-degree focus throw allows for precise focus adjustments, enhancing control over depth of field and focus effects. Additionally, the easy back focus calibration mechanism facilitates quick on-site adjustments. The innovative interchangeable mount system allows users to switch mounts to match different cameras, with each lens mount kit including shims for micro-adjustment of flange depth, ensuring a perfect fit every time. The Venus Laowa Nanomorph LF 4-Lens Kit is a versatile and powerful tool for filmmakers seeking to push the boundaries of their creative vision.
