The Vazen 40mm t/2 1.8X Anamorphic Prime is the worlds first 1.8x anamorphic prime lens designed for m43 4:3 sensor. Its 1.8x squeeze allows for a 2.39:1 aspect ratio on m43 with cameras like the GH5 and Z-Cam E2. It is a well-controlled lens wide open and it produces buttery smooth oval bokeh with a signature blue horizontal flare that produces a widescreen cinematic look. The Vazen 40mm is quite large for m43 at 1.8kg with a front diameter and 0.8 mod cine gears with a focus throw of 300°.
There will be more VZ primes in the future that should be 28mm and 65mm 1.8x anamorphic later this year. You can pre-order the Vazen 40mm t/2 1.8X Anamorphic Prime now here.
