Venus Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Canon RF, Blue Flare

Nanomorph is the world's smallest anamorphic lens covering Super35 sensors, weighing only <14 oz each. It opens up more possibilities in set-ups that cannot be done before, like on gimbals, helmets, drones etc. The constant 1.5x squeeze ratio makes it a mumps-free lens while retaining anamorphic characteristics. The relatively close focusing distance also offers more room for creators in composition and creates more depth of field.

Why Anamorphic
Anamorphic lenses are frequently used by big-budget Hollywood productions to achieve the cinematic widescreen perspective. Oval bokeh, horizontal flares and shallower depth of field are aesthetics which add a cinematic and artistic touch to your film.

Revolutionarily Tiny
Anamorphic lenses are always Huge and Heavy. This revolutionary "NANO-sized" lens weighs 13.75 oz (390g) and is only 3.78" (96mm) long, making it very handy for every set-up e.g. handheld, on a gimbal, on a slider, through tight space, even on a drone, etc. It makes a lot of formerly impossible shots possible.

Most anamorphic lenses in the market cannot be lifted on drones with the weight limitations. This compactness of Nanomorph series opens up new possibilities and options for drone pilots.

Super 35 Coverage
The lens is specially designed for Super35 (APS-C) & Micro Four Thirds sensors. But the larger than S35 coverage of the Nanomorphs allows the lens to be used on Full Frame cameras like Sony A7siii 4K 16:9 with only mild vignetting.

Blue Flare Option
Blue Anamorphic lenses with blue flares are very common in the market and they fit perfectly with a sci-fi and cooler vibe . However, they do not necessarily go well with human skin tones.

Cinematic Widescreen
With a 1.5x squeeze, you will have a 2.66:1 on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze. Comparing to 1.33x anamorphic lens, Laowa Nanomorph delivers a much more pronounced anamorphic & cinematic look. For 1.8x/2x squeeze, the lens will become huge and a lot more image will be wasted when pairing with 16:9 sensor.

Anamorphic Lens offers a more wider horizontal field of view and shallower depth of field than spherical lenses.

Cinematic Oval Bokeh
A 1.5x squeeze ratio also renders stretched oval bokeh which gives an artistic touch to the image. A 1.5x squeeze ratio gives a stronger sense of compression and bokeh of more oval.
Short Focusing Distance
Anamorphic lenses tend to have longer closest focusing distance due to restriction of optical design. Nanomorph has one of the Shortest Close Focusing Distance among all anamorphic lenses in the market. Filmmakers could obtain a very close-up shots which renders much shallower depth of field and stronger bokeh. This offers a much higher flexibility in framing.

No Anamorphic MumpsIn some cheaper anamorphic lenses with synchro focus design in the market, the squeeze ratio varies when focus close and hence changes the actual size of the subject. That's what we called anamorphic mumps. There is no way to correct in post and is not usable in professional shootings. Our Nanomorph guarantees a constant squeeze ratio at ALL focusing distance.
New Patented Anamorphic Structure
For cheaper anamorphic lenses, anamorphic mumps made the lens un-usable at a closer distance (e.g. a 1.8x lens will become 1.62x when focused at 0.7m). For more professional designs out there, the lens is bulky and costs a fortune
