Why anamorphic? Big-budget Hollywood productions utilize anamorphic lenses to achieve the cinematic widescreen perspective. With a 16:9 sensor, this yields an aspect ratio of 2.4:1. Rather than cropping the image at the top and bottom, which results in resolution loss, anamorphic lenses distort the image towards the edges. Subsequently, during viewing or projection, a corresponding equalization occurs. Lens attributes like oval bokeh, horizontal flare, and shallower depth of field are highly regarded by filmmakers for their aesthetic appeal, leading to their increasing popularity.
The Laowa Nanomorph lenses represent the smallest anamorphic lenses for S35 cameras, featuring a constant compression factor of 1.5 at all focus points. The “Nano” designation signifies their extremely compact and lightweight design, while “Morph” denotes their anamorphic capabilities.
Anamorphic lenses comprise spherical and cylindrical elements. Crafting professional-grade anamorphic lenses typically entails significant effort in optical design, resulting in high costs and cumbersome, heavy formats. Laowa’s unique patented anamorphic design addresses these challenges, ensuring consistent optical quality and a consistent compression factor.
Revolutionary in their compactness and lightness, Nanomorph lenses facilitate handheld shooting and are compatible with various camera support systems such as gimbals, tripods, sliders, and camera booms. They are even suitable for drone usage. These lenses feature a shortened minimum focusing distance compared to similar options, enabling impressive close-up shots. Additionally, they offer practicality and ease of use for cinematographers, with the ability to directly attach screw-in filters to the filter thread. Moreover, all Nanomorph cine lenses come equipped with continuously variable aperture and focus rings featuring standardized Module 0.8 tooth rings.
