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

Before you delve into the world of anamorphic photography and filmmaking, consider the Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Sony E, a high-quality, innovative, and stylish lens that offers a unique blue flare effect. This lens, known for its durability and versatility, is the world's smallest anamorphic lens designed to cover Super35 sensors. Weighing a mere 13.75 oz (390g) and measuring only 3.78" (96mm) in length, this compact lens is perfect for handheld shooting, gimbal use, slider shots, tight spaces, and even drone photography.The Laowa Nanomorph lens is designed specifically for Super35 (APS-C) and Micro Four Thirds sensors, but its larger than S35 coverage allows for use on Full Frame cameras like the Sony A7siii 4K 16:9 with only mild vignetting. This lens offers a 1.5x constant squeeze, providing a 2.66:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze, delivering a more pronounced anamorphic and cinematic look compared to a 1.33x anamorphic lens.The blue flare option adds a sci-fi and cooler vibe to your shots, while the 1.5x squeeze ratio renders stretched oval bokeh, adding an artistic touch to your images. With a short focusing distance, this lens allows for close-up shots that render a shallower depth of field and stronger bokeh, offering higher flexibility in framing.The Laowa Nanomorph lens guarantees a constant squeeze ratio at all focusing distances, eliminating the issue of anamorphic mumps found in some cheaper anamorphic lenses. Thanks to its new patented anamorphic design, the lens maintains a uniform squeeze ratio, promising optical quality, compact size, and affordability.Additional features include a unified gear position for quick lens switching, a 55mm filter thread for screw-in filters, industry-standard 0.8 mod gear on both aperture and focus rings, flange adjustment for fine-tuning the back focus, and dual scale with both imperial and metric measurements printed on the lens body. This lens is a game-changer for every anamorphic user, offering a unique blend of quality, size, and price.
