Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X

50mm nanomorph Laowa lens

This Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5x S35 anamorphic lens from Venus Optics is a slim and compact anamorphic lens that captures high-definition video with 1.5x anamorphic compression on cameras with S35 sensors. It features a 50mm focal length, an RF CANON lens mount, an aperture range of T2.4 to T22 for great depth of field, and 13 iris blades for shallow depth of field and smooth bokeh.

The main lens has a very short minimum focusing distance of 27.5" and offers anamorphic qualities such as high contrast, amber lens flares and a 42° horizontal field of view. Other features include measurement marks in feet and meters, 0.8 MOD cine gears on the focus and aperture rings, and a 55mm front filter thread The CANON RF lens mount is interchangeable and can be changed to an optional mount.

Constant compression ratio of 1.5x

A compression ratio of 1.5x is a perfect balance between size and anamorphic intensity. With a compression ratio of 1.5x, you will have a 2.66:1 sensor on a 16:9 sensor after decompression. There's also room to crop in a 2.4:1 widescreen ratio.

Artistic oval bokeh

A compression ratio of 1.5x also produces an oval bokeh that gives an artistic touch to the image. It also creates a blurry, creamy background that highlights the subject.

Amber anamorphic flash color

Amber flashes are good for narrative and warm vibes and are less common among cine lenses.

Short focus distance

The 27.5" close focusing distance is short so users can create closer shots. It offers a smaller depth of field, so the compression sensation will be stronger and the bokeh will have a more oval shape.

Unified running position

The unified gear position allows users to switch lenses quickly and without readjustments to the focus gear.

55 mm filter thread

A 55mm filter can be attached directly to the lens for a variety of practical settings. The small diameter is favorable when performing stroke and firing shots or used 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 in the aperture and focus rings.

Flange rear adjustment

The lens allows users to adjust the rear focus easily.
