SKU CH-BEPD-R9BH5

Anamorphic prime lens with 1.8x squeeze for 4:3 Micro Four Thirds sensors, T2 aperture, 2.7 ft close focus, and 95 mm front diameter

  • 8x squeeze creates 2.39:1 widescreen from 4:3 sensors
  • T2 aperture gathers light for low-light shooting
  • 7 ft minimum focus captures close detail
  • 300° focus rotation enables precise manual pulls
  • 95 mm front diameter fits standard matte boxes

Cinematic Anamorphic for M43

The Vazen 40mm T2 1.8x Anamorphic Prime Lens is built for Micro Four Thirds cameras with 4:3 sensors. It delivers a 1.8x squeeze that produces a 2.39:1 widescreen image. Filmmakers gain signature blue horizontal flares and smooth oval bokeh from the front anamorphic design.

Suited for narrative work, not run-and-gun

This lens suits narrative filmmakers who want authentic anamorphic character on cameras such as the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, Panasonic GH5 or Z CAM E2. Shooters who need autofocus, image stabilisation or a zoom range should look elsewhere. The fully manual focus and iris demand deliberate operation.

1.8x squeeze defines the look

The 1.8x anamorphic squeeze factor is the specification that determines whether this lens matches your workflow. It stretches the 4:3 sensor area to a cinematic 2.39:1 frame without cropping. If your project requires a different squeeze ratio or a spherical image, this is not the right optic.

Questions about this item

Will the 95 mm front threads need a step-up ring to fit my matte box?

The lens has a 95 mm front diameter, so it accepts standard 95 mm matte-box donuts or clamp-on accessories directly without adapter rings.

At what aperture does diffraction start to soften the 1.8x squeeze on a 4:3 Micro Four Thirds sensor?

The iris closes to T16; stopping down past T8 on a 4:3 M43 sensor can introduce visible diffraction that reduces the effective resolution of the desqueezed 2.39:1 frame.

How hot does the barrel get and does the focus helicoid stiffen after an hour of continuous shooting?

The all-metal barrel remains warm but not hot during extended takes, and the 300-degree focus rotation stays smooth without noticeable stiffening over long sessions.
