Venus Optics Laowa 1.33x Rear Anamorphic PL to PL Adapter

SKU CH-5FDR-9PD8X

A rear anamorphic adapter that expands a 16:9 sensor to a 2.35:1 cinematic ratio at 1.33x magnification while adding distinctive flare and bokeh character

  • Expands 16:9 sensor footage to 2.35:1 cinematic widescreen
  • 33x squeeze factor preserves full sensor resolution
  • Adds distinctive anamorphic flare character to spherical lenses
  • Creates oval bokeh shapes for cinematic depth
  • PL-to-PL mount maintains compatibility with professional cinema lenses

Cinematic Widescreen Conversion

This rear anamorphic adapter fits between a PL-mount lens and a PL-mount camera body. It expands a standard 16:9 sensor area into a 2.35:1 cinematic frame without cropping or losing resolution. The unit is designed for cinematographers who need true widescreen capture.

Filmmakers Seeking Anamorphic Look

Suited for directors of photography who want oval bokeh and horizontal flare characteristics on existing spherical glass. Not suited for productions that must retain a 16:9 delivery ratio or for crews without PL-mount infrastructure on both lens and camera side.

1.33x Horizontal Squeeze Factor

The adapter applies a fixed 1.33x horizontal compression to the incoming image. Combined with a 16:9 sensor this yields a 2.35:1 aspect ratio at full resolution. Confirm that your lens image circle covers the expanded field and that your workflow can desqueeze the footage in post.
