The Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X S35 Anamorphic Lens - 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, 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.
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.
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.
The traditional blue flare is common in the market, and it is suitable for sci-fi and cool vibe movies.
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.
The unified gear position allows users to switch lenses quickly and without readjustment on the focus gear.
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.
Both imperial and metric scales are printed on the lens body.
Industry-standard 0.8 MOD gears are installed on both the aperture and focus rings.
The lens allows users to adjust the back focus easily.
