This Vazen 65mm T2 1.8x Anamorphic Lens MFT Amber Flarefrom Vazen 65mm T2 1.8x Anamorphic Lens MFT Amber Flarecreates a 2.39:1 widescreen aspect ratio for cinematic imagery with the signature anamorphic look with an amber flare on cameras having an MFT sensor and mount. This 65mm prime lens features a front anamorphic element with a 1.8x squeeze, and it is suitable for use on cameras such as the Panasonic GH5, the Z CAM E2, or the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K.

Lightweight at about 3.7 pounds and relatively small for an anamorphic lens, the lens won't interfere with a fast and energetic shooting style. The 300° of focus rotation allows for precise focus control—so important when shooting with anamorphic lenses—and the 3.6' minimum focus distance provides a wide range of focus for getting in tight to your subject without needing additional optical attachments. This lens, as with the 28 and 40mm lenses in the Vazen series, features a 95mm front diameter to fit standard matte boxes and make for fast lens swaps.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will I see vignetting on the c70 if I shoot in XF-AVC 4K DCI? I know this is wider than UHD and I presume it will vignette given this is only MFT coverage. I'm particularly interested with the 28mm lens.

A: No, the Vazen 40mm and 28mm 1.8x Anamorphic Lens' image circle covers the C70s sensor.

Q: 2. Is there a Canon EF version coming? S35?

A: At this time there appears to be no plans to make a EF mount version of the Vazen 40mm T2 1.8x Anamorphic Lens for Micro Four Thirds Cameras.

Q: 3. What is the image circle in cm?

A: The image circle of this lens is information Vazen has not released. However, since this is for Micro Four Thirds sensors whose diagonal is 22.5 mm, we can assume the lens's image circle is at least that size.

Q: 4. Is this lens weather-sealed?

A: It does not come with weather sealing.

Q: 5. What is the equivalent horizontal field of view of this lens vs. a spherical lens? Is it 20/1.5 =13.3mm?

A: Yes, the Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 20mm T2.2 1.5x MFT Anamorphic Lens (Micro Four Thirds, Silver Flare) would give you the same horizontal field of view of approximately a 13.3mm lens while keeping the same vertical field of view of a 20mm lens.

Q: 6. Has anyone used any filters on this yet? Wondering if the ring would show in the image.

A: The BLAZAR LENS Great Joy 85mm supports 82mm screw on filters, and we expect thin filters would not block the view of this lens.

Q: 7. Has any body tested it with Red Komodo?

A: We see no reason why the Vazen Vazen 65mm T2 1.8x Anamorphic RF Mount Lens would not work with the RED Komodo's RF lens mount.

Q: 8. Is the 40 mm the actual focal length (so roughly 80 mm equivalent to full 35 mm frame), or is it the equivalent focal length? In other words, is it wide-screen or is telephoto?

A: Lenses are always listed by their physical focal length, then the crop factor for the camera it is being used with must be factored. This will be closer to 80mm.

Q: 9. Could this be used with red cine cameras with pl mount?

A: It cannot be used with a camera that has a PL Mount. This is an MFT mount lens.

Q: 10. what is the image circle size?

A: The image circle of the lens is big enough to cover the FULL sensor of Micro Four Thirds cameras and the full sensor HEIGHT of S35 cameras.
