Product Information

Full details

This guide is for MFT camera users (like GH5/GH6, BMPCC) seeking to achieve a cinematic 2.4:1 widescreen look without extensive post-production. The key benefit is its ability to produce distinctive anamorphic characteristics such as blue flares and oval bokeh, while offering a wide field of view and close focusing. A potential caveat is its manual focus operation, which requires practice for precise control, especially during dynamic shoots.

FAQs

Does this lens work with full-frame cameras?

This lens is designed to cover APS-C sensors and MFT systems. While it might produce an image on a full-frame camera, there will be significant vignetting, and it is not recommended for optimal performance.

What does '1.33X Anamorphic' mean?

It means the lens squeezes the image horizontally by a factor of 1.33. When de-squeezed in post-production (or viewed on a compatible display), this creates a wider 2.4:1 aspect ratio from a standard 16:9 sensor recording.

Is the focus manual or autofocus?

This lens features entirely manual focus and aperture control. There is no autofocus capability.

What is the minimum focusing distance?

The minimum focusing distance is 0.6 meters (approximately 2 feet).

Can I use standard 72mm filters with this lens?

Yes, the lens has a 72mm filter thread size, allowing you to attach standard filters.

What kind of look can I expect from this lens?

You can expect a wide field of view, horizontal blue flares when shooting into light sources, oval-shaped bokeh, and a native 2.4:1 widescreen aspect ratio.

Does it come with lens caps?

Yes, the lens includes both front and rear lens caps, as well as a carrying bag.

Troubleshooting

Lens will not mount to camera.

Ensure you are using a camera with an MFT mount. Verify that the red dot on the lens aligns with the red dot on the camera mount and that you are twisting the lens correctly to lock it in place.

Image appears distorted or vignetted.

This is characteristic of anamorphic lenses. Vignetting may be reduced by stopping down the aperture. Distortion is an intended feature but may require correction in post-production software if not desired.

Focus is difficult to achieve accurately.

Practice with manual focus, especially in lower light or with fast-moving subjects. Use focus peaking or magnification aids on your camera if available. Consider using a follow focus system for smoother adjustments.

Blue flares are too strong or distracting.

While flares are a signature anamorphic trait, you can mitigate them by avoiding direct light sources in the frame or by using a lens hood if one is compatible and available.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Achieve a professional cinematic 2.4:1 aspect ratio directly from the camera.
Wide 24mm focal length combined with anamorphic squeeze offers a unique ultra-wide perspective.
Short minimum focus distance of 0.6m is practical for various shooting scenarios.
Produces signature anamorphic effects like blue flares and oval bokeh.
Robust metal construction ensures durability and a premium feel.
High-quality Schott optics provide excellent sharpness and aberration control.

Cons

Requires manual focus operation, which may have a learning curve.
Anamorphic "mump" or distortion can be present, requiring specific handling.
Blue flares may be too prominent for some users or situations.
Lens is designed for APS-C sensors and MFT systems; compatibility with full-frame needs careful consideration.
The 1.33x squeeze might require specific workflow adjustments in editing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This lens features an MFT (Micro Four Thirds) mount and is designed for APS-C and MFT cameras. Ensure your camera body has a compatible MFT mount. Mount the lens by aligning the red dot on the lens with the red dot on the camera body, then twist the lens clockwise until it clicks into place.

Compatibility:

Primarily designed for MFT mount cameras such as Panasonic Lumix GH series (GH5, GH6, etc.) and Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera models with MFT mounts. It covers APS-C sensors, meaning it will also work on compatible APS-C cameras with an MFT mount. Always check your camera's specific mount compatibility before purchase.

Care:

Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free lens cloth to clean the lens elements. For stubborn smudges, a lens cleaning solution can be applied sparingly to the cloth, never directly to the lens. Avoid abrasive materials.
Storage: Store the lens in its original protective bag or a padded camera bag when not in use. Protect it from dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
Handling: Always handle the lens with care, avoiding drops or impacts. Ensure the lens cap is on when not mounted to the camera to protect the front element.
