Product Overview

This Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens from Venus Optics is a slender, compact anamorphic lens that captures high-definition video with 1.5x anamorphic squeeze on cameras with S35 sensors. It features a focal length of 35mm, a Leica L lens mount, an aperture range of T2.4 to T22 for a deep depth of field, and 13 iris blades for a shallow depth of field and soft bokeh.

The prime lens has a very short minimum focus distance of 23.6" and offers anamorphic qualities such as high contrast, amber color lens flares, and a 57.5° horizontal field of view. Other features include measurement markings in feet and meters, 0.8 MOD cine gears on focus and aperture rings, and a 55mm front filter thread. The Leica L lens mount is interchangeable and can be swapped out for an optional mount.

Constant 1.5x Squeeze Ratio

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.

Artistic Oval Bokeh

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.

Amber Anamorphic Flare Color

Amber flares are good for narrative and warm vibes and are less common among cine lenses.

Short Focus Distance

The 23.6" 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.

Unified Gear Position

The unified gear position allows users to switch lenses quickly and without readjustment on the focus gear.

55mm Filter Thread

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.

Dual Scales

Both imperial and metric scales are printed on the lens body.

0.8 MOD Gears

Industry-standard 0.8 MOD gears are installed on both the aperture and focus rings.

Flange Back Adjustment

The lens allows users to adjust the back focus easily.

FAQs

What advantages does the 1.5x anamorphic squeeze ratio provide for filmmakers?

The 1.5x anamorphic squeeze ratio offers a unique blend of compactness and cinematic depth, allowing filmmakers to achieve a wider aspect ratio of 2.66:1 on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze. This ratio creates a more immersive viewing experience by enhancing the visual storytelling. Additionally, it allows for creative cropping options to a 2.4:1 widescreen ratio, giving filmmakers flexibility in post-production.

How do the amber lens flares impact the overall aesthetic of video projects?

Amber lens flares add a distinctive warmth and character to footage, making them suitable for narrative-driven projects seeking a vintage or cinematic aesthetic. Unlike the more common blue or white flares, amber flares can evoke emotional responses and contribute to a cohesive colour palette, enhancing the visual storytelling in a way that resonates with audiences.

What is the significance of the lens's short minimum focus distance?

The Laowa Nanomorph's short minimum focus distance of 23.6 inches allows filmmakers to capture intimate shots with a strong sense of compression. This feature is particularly beneficial for close-ups, as it enhances the bokeh effect, creating a creamy background that draws attention to the subject. This capability is ideal for narrative scenes where emotional expressions need to be highlighted.

How does the dual scale marking on the lens benefit cinematographers?

The dual scale marking, featuring both imperial and metric measurements, is designed to enhance ease of use for cinematographers working in diverse environments. This feature allows for quick and precise focus adjustments, catering to the varying preferences of global filmmakers. It aids in seamless collaboration on set, especially when working with international teams or across different regions.

Can the Laowa Nanomorph lens be used for run-and-gun shooting?

Yes, the compact design and 55mm filter thread of the Laowa Nanomorph make it a suitable choice for run-and-gun shooting scenarios. The lens's lightweight build allows for easy handling and quick setup, while the ability to attach filters directly enables filmmakers to adapt to changing lighting conditions without the need for extensive equipment. This flexibility is essential for capturing spontaneous moments in dynamic environments.

What types of projects are best suited for the Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4?

The Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 is exceptionally versatile and ideal for a variety of projects, including narrative films, documentaries, and music videos. Its ability to create a cinematic look with unique bokeh and lens flares makes it a favourite among filmmakers aiming for high-quality visual storytelling. Additionally, its compatibility with S35 sensors allows it to be used effectively on professional cinema cameras, making it suitable for both indie and studio productions.
