Venus Optics has unveiled the Laowa Nanomorph 20mm T2.2 1.5x, the latest addition to its Anamorphic lens lineup, compatible with the Micro Four Thirds system and professional PL mount. This compact anamorphic lens weighs 304 grams for the MFT version and 499 grams for the PL mount, making it suitable for a range of applications, including drone and stabilization system use.
Featuring a minimum focusing distance of 0.43 meters and a 55mm filter thread, the LAOWA Nanomorph 20mm T2.2 1.5X is available in three color options—amber, blue, and silver—each imparting distinctive anamorphic lines.
The silver flare creates a more neutral look that can be adjusted according to the color of the light source for greater versatility. The blue flare creates a sci-fi or vintage look and the amber flare creates a warmer look that highlights the anamorphic style.
With a minimum focus distance of 16.9″ and a maximum aperture of T2.2, the lens produces a shallower depth of field, enhancing the sense of compression and oval-shaped bokeh. The 55mm filter can be directly attached to the lens for versatile setups, such as handheld, drone, and gimbal shots.
Constructed with 15 elements in 13 groups and a 13-blade diaphragm, the lens offers a focusing ring with a rotation angle of 271.5°. The dimensions are ø60 mm85 mm (MFT) and ø84 mm67 mm (PL version), with weights of 304g and 499g, respectively.
