Vazen 40mm T2.0 Anamorphic Reviews
Doesn’t get any better !
By Thierry
Rated 5 out of 5

This lens is nothing short of amazing. Sharp - even wide open, at 2.8/4 you wouldn’t want the image any sharper. Flare is beautiful, squeeze and bokeh looks amazing... A real anamorphic lens for this price - paired with a Blackmagic pocket 4K - it’s an amazing combo ! My favorite - personally. Check out “anamorphia” by make art now, we shot all the anamorphic scenes with it.
Pure Anamorphic For All

I bought this lens due to having an ease of use rather then my Projection Lens set up.For an Anamorphic Lens,this lens is quite Sharp.The Anamorphic characteristics are quite on par with a lot of the more expensive ones.A lot of people complain that this lens is heavy.Well,what anamorphic lens that has a 1.8-2x stretch which are not? In fact this has to be the lightest 1.8-2x stretch anamorphic lens to date.That was before the 28mm though.For a telephoto anamorphic lens that has a close to 2x stretch which brings out true anamorphic characteristics,its a no brainer.Amazing that we live in times where we can actually own one of this kind of lenses.Ohh did i mention the price? Cheapest out there for a 1.8x.Thats right.

Could this be used with red cine cameras with pl mount?
It cannot be used with a camera that has a PL Mount. This is an MFT mount lens.

In the GH5 what focal length do I input for IBIS?
In the GH5 what focal length do I input for IBIS?
pretty big and heavy lens, maybe you are using battery and cage / rig - perhaps the heft of the system approaches an amount enough to get stable footage the old fashioned way, just like all the other cinema cameras that don't have IBIS. It would be a shame to add the look of IBIS to your handheld work if you can get acceptably smooth footage without.

I have a Zcam E2 and a RED Komodo. Is it possible to use the lens with an adapter for both cameras? Is there an MFT to RF adapte
Unfortunately, the Vazen 40mm T2 1.8x Anamorphic Lens for Micro Four Thirds Cameras would not work for RF lens mount cameras like the RED Komodo. However, it would adapt to Zcam cameras that have the MFT lens mount. The Vazen 40mm T2 1.8x Anamorphic Lens (RF Mount) model would be the best choice for the RED Komodo. At this time MFT to RF adapters are not currently being manufactured.

Is the 40 mm the actual focal length (so roughly 80 mm equivalent to full 35 mm frame), or is it the equivalent focal length? In other words, is it wide-screen or is telephoto?
Due to the squeeze factor, to get the field of view side to side, you need to divide, 40mm into 1.8, which is roughly 22mm. However the top to bottom, will remain that of 40mm.
So in full frame terms, its roughly the same field of view as 45mm left to right, and 80mm top to bottom.

Can this lens in either mount version be mounted on a Sony A7S III?
We’re afraid not. They do not make an E-Mount version of this lens.

Are there filter threads on this lens? If so, what size?
No, The Vazen 40mm T2 1.8x Anamorphic Lens for Micro Four Thirds Cameras does not have filter threads. With this lens you would need to use a 95mm clamp on Matte box or adapter. Example 95mm Matte Box idea https://bhpho.to/3MTy91g
