This Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens MFTfrom Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens MFTis 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 Micro Four Thirds 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 Micro Four Thirds lens mount is interchangeable and can be swapped out for an optional mount.

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.
