The new 2x front anamorphic lenses by Laowa offer all the classic characteristics you look for in anamorphic glass, with an excellent contrast and image quality even wide open at T2.
The silver coatings of these lenses have a subtle and neutral anamorphic flare, which will take on the color of your light source. It renders close-up shots nicely with a constant 2x ratio, low focus breathing and a 55cm minimum focusing distance on 35mm & 45mm.
With it’s large image circle they cover ultra 35 easily, and even full frame with the additional 1.4x Laowa FF adapter.
The modern housing allows for a quick and professional workflow, thanks to universal front diameter and gear placing, allowing fast lens changes.
