Product Overview

This Laowa Nanomorph 50mm 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 50mm, a DJI DL 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 27.5" and offers anamorphic qualities such as high contrast, blue color lens flares, and a 42° 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 DJI DL 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.

Blue Anamorphic Flare Color

The traditional blue flare is common in the market, and it is suitable for sci-fi and cool vibe movies.

Short Focus Distance

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.

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 aperture and focus rings.

Flange Back Adjustment

The lens allows users to adjust the back focus easily.

FAQs

What types of projects is the Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 lens best suited for?

The Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 lens is particularly well-suited for cinematic projects, especially those requiring an anamorphic aesthetic. Its 1.5x squeeze ratio allows filmmakers to achieve a wider aspect ratio while maintaining a compact form factor. This makes it ideal for narrative films, music videos, and commercials where a dramatic and stylised look is desired. Additionally, the distinctive blue lens flares create a unique visual style that is particularly effective in sci-fi and fantasy genres.

How does the 1.5x squeeze ratio affect the final image and composition?

The 1.5x squeeze ratio allows for a wider field of view while compressing the image, resulting in a final aspect ratio of approximately 2.66:1 on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze. This not only enhances the cinematic quality of the footage but also provides a more immersive viewing experience. The oval bokeh produced by the lens adds an artistic element to the composition, making subjects stand out against a beautifully blurred background, which can elevate the emotional impact of a scene.

What are the benefits of the short minimum focus distance of 27.5 inches?

The short minimum focus distance of 27.5 inches allows filmmakers to capture close-up shots with a shallow depth of field. This capability can create a strong sense of intimacy and immediacy in the footage, making it effective for dramatic storytelling. Moreover, it enhances the perception of compression, accentuating the lens's anamorphic qualities and producing that desirable oval bokeh. This feature is particularly beneficial in narrative films where capturing the nuances of a subject's expressions is crucial.

Can the Laowa Nanomorph 50mm lens be used with different camera systems?

Yes, the Laowa Nanomorph 50mm lens comes with a DJI DL mount, which is interchangeable. This means you can swap out the mount for compatibility with other camera systems, allowing for greater versatility across different filmmaking setups. This feature is especially useful for production teams that may utilise various cameras for different shots, ensuring that they can maintain a consistent look and quality throughout the project.

How does the lens's design impact its usability during production?

The Laowa Nanomorph 50mm lens is designed with usability in mind, featuring unified gear positions for the focus and aperture rings. This means that when switching between lenses, users can do so without needing to readjust the follow focus system. Additionally, the lens has both metric and imperial markings, making it user-friendly for a diverse range of cinematographers. The 0.8 MOD gears also align with industry standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of cine gear.
