Venus Optics VEAPT133PL Overview

Add a rear anamorphic adapter to convert your 16:9 frame lens into a 2:35:1 cinematic widescreen frame with this PL-to-PL Laowa 1.33x Rear Anamorphic Adapter from Venus Optics. The adapter mounts onto the rear of the OOOM 25 to 100mm T2.9 PL-mount cine zoom lens and maintains the PL mount for your camera.

The adapter creates 1.33x anamorphic squeeze to create the widescreen frame, but it does not feature any oval bokeh or expanded field of view as front adapters do. However, it does create extra artifacts and flares for a more cinematic look. There is a 0.5 stop decrease in light into the sensor when using the adapter. It is lightweight at 9.5 oz, has an 89mm diameter, measures 2.2" in length, and features a 29mm image circle.

The rear anamorphic adapter is also compatible with other S35 lenses, see the list below, and a measurement PDF is available to measure whether it fits different lenses.

Note:
The PL mount plate may need to be removed for some lenses.

Venus Optics VEAPT133PL Reviews

Finally a fantastic anamorphic adapter!

I have a set of Sony CineAlta lenses that work with this really well. Any lens that has a ~14mm or shorter protrusion from the PL mount tabs will fit. The lenses are clinically sharp, and it doesn't look like any of that sharpness is really lost with this. I recently took this in to Atlas to try their anamorphic lenses alongside, and they have definitely a look whereas this preserves the look one gets from the taking lenses. The flares are very spherical, and the bokeh is round until you get to the edge of the view. It's fun to use, and the guys at Atlas thought it was cool. I recently shot a movie with this and the CineAlta lenses, and it all went well.

Asked by: william
The Venus Optics Laowa 1.33x Rear Anamorphic Adapter (PL-to-PL) is specifically designed for Super 35 lenses, though it may work with select full-frame lenses that have a rear protrusion compatible with it. When used with a compatible full-frame lens, the image circle should cover a full-frame sensor.

Please provide us with the flange depth on the lens side of the adapter and the depth of the back portion of the adapter?Thanks
Asked by: Steven
It is our understanding that the flange depth on the lens side of the Venus Optics Laowa 1.33x Rear Anamorphic Adapter (PL-to-PL) is 52mm like any PL mount. On the camera side, the lens cannot protrude more than 14mm from the mount. Please print out the PDF measurement chart to find if your camera is compatible. PDF CHART: https://bhpho.to/3y77lEA
