This Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens from Venus Optics is a slender, compact anamorphic lens that captures high-definition video with 1.5x anamorphic squeeze on cameras with S35 sensors. It features a focal length of 27mm, a PL lens mount with an included EF-mount bayonet option, an aperture range of T2.8 to T22 for a deep depth of field, and 13 iris blades for a shallow depth of field and soft bokeh.

The prime lens has a very short minimum focus distance of 16.9" and offers anamorphic qualities such as high contrast, blue color lens flares, and a 70.8° horizontal field of view. Other features include measurement markings in feet and meters, 0.8 MOD cine gears on focus and aperture rings, and a 77mm front filter thread. The lens comes default with an ARRI PL lens mount, and a Canon EF bayonet mount is included for compatibility with a wide range of cameras.

A 1.5x squeeze ratio is a perfect balance between the size and anamorphic intensity. With a 1.5x squeeze ratio, you will have a 2.66:1 on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze. There is also room for you to crop into a 2.4:1 widescreen ratio.

Q: 1. I'm looking at buying this lens to adapt to my GH5. Does this become 34-100mm due to the 2x crop factor of micro four thirds?

A: Yes, because of the GH5's micro four-thirds sensor has a 2x crop factor, it will transfer the crop of 2x to the Venus Optics Laowa Ranger S35 17-50mm T2.9 Cine Lens (ARRI PL). The view would be 34 to 100mm when adapted to the GH5. Adding a speed booster like this will lessen the crop significantly: Metabones Speed Booster Ultra 0.71x Adapter for Select PL Lenses to Micro Four Thirds Camera, B&H # MEMBSLM43BT1 With the speed booster, the Venus lens would have an FOV of 24 to 71mm.
