Venus Optics presents the first 60mm 1:2 Macro Anamorphic lens for S35 sensors – Nanomorph 60mm T2.9 1.5X S35 Macro 1:2. This lens offers a close focus distance of up to 24cm/9.45” and produces a 0.5x magnified image, breaking through previous technological constraints and surpassing lenses in the market of similar focal lengths.
The US price for the Laowa Nanomorph 60mm T2.9 1.5X S35 Macro 1:2 Lens is USD $1,999. The additional interchangeable mount price is USD $50 each. Pricing varies in different countries. Laowa Nanomorph 60mm T2.9 1.5X S35 Macro 1:2 is currently available to purchase via Venus Optics official website and authorized resellers.
Combined with the T2.9 large aperture, the Nanomorph 60mm allows for an organic oval bokeh and a more incredibly shallow depth of field, resulting in stunning cinematic footage that is normally unachievable without the use of diopters.
The Nanomorph 60mm Macro lens offers cinematographers the unique ability to create visuals with a 1:2 magnification ratio and a 1.5x squeezed anamorphic image. This feature is not commonly found in either modern or vintage lenses. The lens also boasts a 270 focus throw, allowing cinematographers and focus pullers to achieve precise focus control when transitioning between 0.1x and 0.5x magnification. This makes it perfect for guiding the audience’s attention to the fine details on screen.
The Nanomorph 60mm Macro lens comes in three cinematic flare options, including amber, blue, and silver. The blue flare is ideal for achieving a sci-fi or vintage look, while the amber and silver flares offer warmer and more neutral tones. The silver flare option allows filmmakers to adjust the flare color according to the light source, providing versatility and making it a popular artistic choice for cinematographers to use in music videos and feature films.
The Nanomorph 60mm Macro lens can be paired with the Laowa 1.4x Full-Frame Expander to convert it into an 84mm T4 Full Frame 1:2 Macro Anamorphic Lens. This combination allows filmmakers to maintain the same closest focusing distance for capturing expressive macro anamorphic shots. It is ideal for use with full-frame cameras such as the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K, PYXIS, and the Sony FX6, enabling cinematographers to explore creative possibilities in their visual storytelling.
The lens comes with an ARRI PL mount in default and an interchangeable EF bayonet is presented. Moreover, the company offers four additional mirrorless mounts (which can be purchased separately) including Canon RF, Sony E, Nikon Z, and L mount for filmmakers with mirrorless systems.
