(PL/EF) Nanomorph 1.5X Anamorphic [65mm T2.4 / 80mm T2.4]

The most compact anamorphic series, Nanomorph, is back with new focal lengths: 65mm & 80mm T2.4, to provide a comprehensive range for professional cinematography and commercial work.

Nanomorph is the world’s smallest anamorphic lens covering Super35 sensors, which weighs only <1.15 lbs each.  It opens up more possibilities in set-ups that it cannot be done before, like on gimbals, on helmets, on drones etc.. The constant 1.5x squeeze ratio makes it a mumps-free lens while retaining anamorphic characteristics. Three flare options are provided: Amber/ Blue / Silver. The relatively close focusing distance also provides more rooms for creators in composition and creates more depth of field.

The PL and EF mounts are user interchangeable.

Cinematic Widescreen Ratio

Our Nanomorph 65mm & 80mm lenses feature a consistent 1.5X squeeze ratio, making them the ideal companions for 16:9 sensors, which are widely prevalent in the market. In comparison to 1.33X anamorphic lenses available, our Nanomorph lenses provide a significantly more pronounced anamorphic and cinematic aesthetic.

It’s important to note that opting for a 1.8X or 2X squeeze ratio would result in considerable lens size increase and wastage of image when paired with a 16:9 sensor.

  

Why Anamorphics and Not Spherical Lenses?

Because it is cinematic! Everything you shoot can now be cinematic with a golden aspect widescreen ratio of 2.4:1.

While spherical lenses can provide a more realistic texture to your movies, it is still undeniable that anamorphic lenses can make them more visually intriguing and engaging due to the distortion, oval bokeh and flare. The extra space of view also reveals additional details and information about the scene. 

 

Short Focusing Distance

Short focusing distance of 2’3″/70cm on both the 65mm and 80mm lenses, enables you to effortlessly capture dramatic close-up shots and shoot in tight spaces without any limitations. Whether you’re seeking stunning detail or working in confined quarters, these lenses deliver exceptional performance to meet your creative needs.

 

Telephoto Compression

When it comes to shooting close/distant objects, the 65mm and 80mm lenses excel by compressing the sense of depth within a scene. More distant objects are now brought closer and covering a larger percentage of the frame.
