Vazen 40mm T2 1.8x Anamorphic Lens for Micro Four Thirds Cameras

Cinematic Bokeh and Blue Flares at MojoComputers

The Vazen 40mm T2 1.8x Anamorphic Lens is a purpose-built, professional prime renowned for delivering true anamorphic visuals on Micro Four Thirds sensors. Designed for filmmakers who crave classic cinematic aesthetics in compact, rugged form, this lens creates striking widescreen imagery with breathtaking blue horizontal flares and distinctive oval bokeh, suitable for a range of creative narratives.

Dramatic Anamorphic Squeeze for Big-Screen Look

With a 1.8x squeeze ratio, the lens captures every frame at an ultra-wide 2.39:1 aspect when paired with 4:3 sensors found in cameras like the Panasonic GH5, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, and Z CAM E2. The front anamorphic design preserves the authentic characteristics filmmakers expect: oval-shaped background blur, controlled field curvature, and luminous blue horizontal flare effects that add atmosphere and drama to any scene.

Fast Aperture & Minimal Breathing

A fast T2 maximum aperture supports low-light shooting and allows for pronounced shallow depth-of-field—a must for isolating subjects and crafting moods. The minimum focus distance is 2.7 feet (0.82 meters), giving directors flexibility for action, interviews, or atmospheric close-ups. Vazen’s optical formula is also tuned for minimal focus breathing, so rack focus shots maintain scene composition with no disruptive zoom-like change in angle of view.

Rugged Yet Road-Ready Construction

Engineered for cinema-class reliability, the 40mm T2 is relatively lightweight for a true front-anamorphic prime, weighing 3.97 lbs (1.8 kg) and sized 4.33” x 6.89” (110 x 175 mm). The robust aluminum alloy build and 95mm front diameter mean filmmakers can use standard matte boxes, clamp-on filters, and modular rigs. Designed for both on-the-go handheld work and locked-off studio setups, this lens travels well while remaining tough and dependable.

Cine-Friendly Geared Rings and Extended Throw

Both aperture and focus rings are independently geared with 0.8 MOD cine industry pitch, accommodating wireless or manual follow focus systems for precise control. Its 300° focus throw grants camera assistants and shooters ample adjustment real estate for nuanced, repeatable movements, critical on high-level productions where precision is key.

Compatibility and Compact Workflow

Tailored for Micro Four Thirds mount cameras, the Vazen 40mm pairs seamlessly with the Panasonic GH-series, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K/6K (in MFT mode), Z Cam E2, and other MFT systems. Filmmakers can enjoy iconic anamorphic looks on compact gimbal rigs, handheld setups, or full cinema rigs, without sacrificing build quality or creative freedom.

Cinematic Advantages of 1.8x Squeeze

Unlike more common 1.33x or 2x designs, the 1.8x squeeze enables bold, classic “Cinemascope” aesthetics, ensuring extra-wide framing and more intense horizontal compression. The front anamorphic architecture—versus rear designs—delivers richer flare and truer bokeh, essential for creative vision.
