Description
VZ (Vazen) 28mm t/2.2 Anamorphic Prime is specially designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras and Canon RF cameras.

The 1.8x squeeze produces a cinematic 2.39:1 aspect ratio to your image when capturing with 4:3 M43 sensors like Panasonic GH5 and Z-cam E2. It also works very well with the 4:3 1.8x anamorphic mode in Red Komodo. Mild vignetting will be visible in 6k mode. Fully clear at 4k mode. The lens features a fast t/2.2 aperture and 2.7” minimum focus distance, the focus breathing is also minimal . Mild vignetting will be visible in 6k mode.
