Key Features

• 1.5x anamorphic squeeze for a true cinematic widescreen look. This squeeze allows filmmakers to achieve wider aspect ratios and the hallmark anamorphic aesthetic.
• 50mm focal length, ideal for portrait-style framing and character-driven shots. It offers flattering compression for close-ups and medium shots.
• T2.4 aperture for excellent low-light performance and precise depth-of-field control. The bright aperture helps retain exposure latitude in dim conditions.
• 13-blade iris for a shallow depth of field and smooth, artistic bokeh. The rounded iris blades contribute to pleasing out-of-focus highlights.
• Neutral silver anamorphic flares for a clean and modern cinematic effect. The silver flare option produces a subtle and natural-looking anamorphic highlight.
• Beautiful oval bokeh and enhanced subject separation. The lens emphasizes foreground subjects while maintaining soft out-of-focus backgrounds.
• Compact and lightweight design, perfect for handheld, gimbal, and drone cinematography. Its form factor suits run-and-gun and stabilized setups.
• Precision anamorphic optics with minimal focus breathing. This supports consistent framing during focus pulls and scene coverage.
• Standard 0.8 mod geared rings for seamless follow-focus operation. Both focus and aperture rings use industry-standard gearing for professional rigs.
• Manual focus and aperture control for full creative control. The lens is operated by hand to match traditional cine workflows.
• Durable all-metal construction for professional-grade reliability. The build supports demanding production environments.

Optical and Mechanical Design

The lens combines precision-engineered anamorphic optics with a bright T2.4 aperture to balance image quality and low-light capability. Its optical design reduces focus breathing and preserves detail across the frame. Additionally, the 13-blade iris produces smooth, artistic bokeh that enhances subject separation and cinematic depth.

Mechanically, the lens features standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture for easy integration with follow-focus systems. Furthermore, the all-metal construction gives the lens robust durability while keeping the overall package compact enough for handheld, gimbal, and drone use.

Flare Options and Visual Style

The Nanomorph series offers blue, amber, and silver flare options. This particular version uses the neutral silver flare, which gives clean, modern-looking anamorphic highlights. Unlike lenses with strong color casts, the silver option keeps flares subtle and versatile for a wide range of productions.

Use Cases

Use this lens for character-driven scenes, portrait-style cinematography, and dramatic storytelling where a natural perspective and cinematic compression matter. Its compact size makes it suitable for handheld shooting, gimbal setups, and drone applications. Additionally, the neutral silver flares work well when you want an unobtrusive anamorphic aesthetic that adapts to different lighting environments.
