Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens Amber Flare PL/EF Summary
The Laowa Nanomorph series is dedicatedly designed for Super35 and Micro Four Thirds cameras. The anamorphic lens is “Nano” as it is extremely super tiny and light. “Morph” indicates to Anamorphic. The range includes 3 different focal lengths – 27mm T2.8, 35mm T2.4, and 50mm T2.4. It is a front anamorphic design with a 1.5x constant squeeze ratio at ALL focusing points. Three flares options are available – amber, blue & silver, for the use of different film genres and different preferences of videographers and filmmakers. The short closest focusing distance also helps render stronger bokeh and create stronger sense of compression.
More flare options available
Traditional blue flare is common in the market. It is suitable for sci-fi and cool vibes movies.
But not every film matches the blue flares.
Laowa is providing another amber option to users.
Amber flare version is good for narrative and warm vibes but it is rarely found in the market especially at this affordable price point.
Silver Version
Compared to a more common blue flare, the silver version is a neutral-coloured flare that provides more control over the flare colour.
The silver version flare would change flare colour according to the light source. The flare would also be relatively subtler and less distracting.
Cinematographers can now get the perfect look for different types of productions.
Patented Anamorphic Design
For more professional anamorphic lenses, it requires higher optics design capability and it always costs enormously. The size of these lenses tends to be cumbersome and super heavy as well.
In light of these, Laowa introduces its unique patented anamorphic design to guarantee uniform squeeze ratio and promising optical quality which solves the struggles of every anamorphic user.
Laowa relocates the groups of lens elements that are arranged in [spherical glasses + focusing system + cylindrical glasses + spherical glasses]. Group 1 and the focusing system compresses the images and hence the smaller cylindrical blocks can be used, which makes the lens tinier and compact. Moreover, the image is formed and focused before the cylindrical blocks. The images projected onto the cylinders remain the same so it can maintain a constant squeeze ratio even if the subject moves closer for closer focus.
Revolutionarily light and compact
It only weighs <400g/14oz each & is 10cm long.
Very handy for every set-up e.g. handheld, on a gimbal, on a tripod, on a slider, on a camera jib, even on a drone. Not many anamorphic lenses can be lifted on drones as there is a strict limitation on weight.
Constant 1.5x squeeze ratio
A 1.5x squeeze ratio is the 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 a bit room for you to crop into 2.4:1 widescreen ratio. However, a 1.8x or 2x would become 3.2:1 and 3.5:1 which need more crop to 2.4:1. Some image will be wasted.
Artistic oval bokeh
A 1.5x squeeze ratio also renders oval bokeh which gives an artistic touch to the image. It also creates a blurry and creamy background that pops out the subject.
Short focusing distance
The closest focusing distance is shortened so users could create closer shots. It renders shallower depth of field so the sense of compression will be stronger. The bokeh will be more oval.
