The product is designed to be extremely compact and lightweight, allowing for portability without sacrificing anamorphic characteristics, and is ideal for use with drones, allowing for wide-angle aerial footage with a cinematic look.
Regardless of shooting distance, the squeeze ratio remains constant at 1.5x, maintaining a consistent anamorphic look regardless of shooting conditions while preventing anamorphic mumps.
The lens has a T2.2 aperture, the largest aperture in the Nanomorph series. It allows for more control over the depth of field and allows for more accurate subject separation. It also performs well in low light conditions.
The minimum shooting distance is 43cm, allowing for close-up shots and a variety of framing options, including emphasizing depth.
Like all Nanomorph lenses, you can choose from three flare color options: Amber (AMB), Blue (BL), and Silver (SV). The Silver flare option allows you to adjust the flare color depending on the color of the light source.
The mount is micro four thirds and it is not possible to change the mount. Unlike other Nanomorph series lenses, this lens only fits cameras with MFT (Micro Four Thirds) or smaller format sensors. It does not cover the Super35 format.
