The Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens, produced by Venus Optics, is a sleek and compact lens designed for capturing high-definition video with a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze on S35 sensor cameras. It boasts a focal length of 50mm, a Micro Four Thirds lens mount, and an aperture range extending from T2.4 to T22, facilitating both deep and shallow depth of field effects, enhanced by its 13 iris blades that contribute to a pleasing bokeh. This prime lens is characterized by an exceptionally short minimum focus distance of 27.5 inches and incorporates distinct anamorphic features, including high contrast, blue lens flares, and a horizontal field of view measuring 42 degrees. Additional specifications include measurement markings in both feet and meters, 0.8 MOD cine gears on the focus and aperture rings, and a 55mm front filter thread. The Micro Four Thirds lens mount is interchangeable, allowing for the option to replace it with an alternative mount. A 1.5x squeeze ratio is a perfect balance between the size and anamorphic intensity. With a 1.5x squeeze ratio, you will have a 2.66:1 on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze. There is also room for you to crop into a 2.4:1 widescreen ratio. A 1.5x squeeze ratio also renders oval bokeh that gives an artistic touch to the image. It also creates a blurry and creamy background that pops out the subject. The traditional blue flare is common in the market, and it is suitable for sci-fi and cool vibe movies. The 27.5" close focus distance is short so users can create closer shots. It renders a shallower depth of field, so the sense of compression will be stronger and the bokeh will be more oval-shaped. The unified gear position allows users to switch lenses quickly and without readjustment on the focus gear. A 55mm filter can be attached directly to the lens for a variety of handy setups. The small diameter is favorable when doing run-and-gun shots or utilizing it with an aerial drone. Both imperial and metric scales are printed on the lens body. Industry-standard 0.8 MOD gears are installed on both aperture and focus rings. The lens allows users to adjust the back focus easily.
