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 Nikon Z 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, silver 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 Nikon Z 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.

Silver Anamorphic Flare Color

Compared to the more common blue flare, the silver flare is a neutral-colored flare that provides more control over the flare color. Its color changes according to the light source, and it can be relatively subtler and less distracting.

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

The 1.5x anamorphic squeeze ratio strikes an optimal balance between size and visual impact, allowing filmmakers to achieve a cinematic 2.66:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeezing. This enhanced cinematic quality results in wider compositions and a distinctive aesthetic that can elevate storytelling. Additionally, the oval bokeh produced by this squeeze ratio adds an artistic touch, making subjects stand out against beautifully blurred backgrounds.

How does the silver flare of the Laowa Nanomorph lens differ from traditional blue flares?

The silver flare of the Laowa Nanomorph lens offers a neutral colour that adapts to various lighting conditions, providing filmmakers with greater control over the visual effects. Unlike the more common blue flares, which can be quite prominent and distracting, the subtlety of silver flares enhances the scene without overwhelming it. This flexibility allows for creative expression while maintaining the integrity of the shot.

What types of projects are best suited for the Laowa Nanomorph lens?

The Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 lens is ideal for a wide range of cinematic projects, including narrative filmmaking, music videos, and commercial productions. Its compact design and short minimum focus distance make it particularly useful for dynamic shooting environments, such as run-and-gun styles or drone photography. The lens's anamorphic qualities also lend themselves well to projects seeking a distinct visual style or a high-end cinematic look.

Can the lens be used for still photography, or is it strictly for video?

While the Laowa Nanomorph lens is designed primarily for cine applications, it can also be used for still photography. The unique characteristics of the lens, such as the anamorphic squeeze and artistic bokeh, can add a creative edge to still images. However, users should be aware that the lens's features are optimised for motion capture, so ensuring proper focus and exposure in still photography may require some adjustments.

How does the unified gear position benefit cinematographers during shoots?

The unified gear position on the Laowa Nanomorph lens allows cinematographers to switch lenses quickly without needing to readjust their follow focus systems. This efficiency is particularly beneficial during complex shoots where time is of the essence. By maintaining the same gear positioning across different lenses, filmmakers can streamline their workflow and focus more on capturing the perfect shot.

What is the significance of the 27.5-inch minimum focus distance?

The 27.5-inch minimum focus distance of the Laowa Nanomorph lens allows filmmakers to get remarkably close to their subjects, which can create a sense of intimacy and detail in the shots. This capability not only enhances the storytelling by providing a stronger emotional connection but also allows for more pronounced depth of field effects, making the bokeh more pronounced and visually appealing.
