Vazen 85mm T2.8 Anamorphic Overview

The 85mm T2 1.8x Full-Frame Anamorphic Lens from Vazen creates enhanced anamorphic flares and a dramatic cine-style aspect ratio for your footage. This lens features user-interchangeable PL and Canon EF mounts, providing compatibility with an array of full-frame cameras like open-gate ARRI models and the RED MONSTRO 8K. Lens features include enhanced blue flares, a soft, oval bokeh, and other aberrations.

This sharp 85mm prime provides a 1.8x anamorphic squeeze and an ultrawide 50° horizontal field of view. The lens creates a cinematic 2:39:1 aspect ratio with 4:3 sensors and compared to a 2x lens, creates less framing to crop out when used with 16:9 sensors.

The 85mm lens features a 3.8' minimum focus distance, focus marks in feet, a relative light weight of 3.3 pounds, and a 95mm front diameter to fit standard matte boxes. The lens comes with interchangeable PL and Canon EF mounts, a set of shims, and both front and rear caps.

Asked by: Ravinder
Yes the reviewing from CineD used it with a S1H- you need as JS said an EF or PL to L mount adapter for your camera.
