Mount Type:About this Item:- The anamorphic element group in the lens squeezes the horizontal field of view 1.33 times to produce the 2.4:1 aspect ratio. As the focal length shortened to 24mm, the angle of view also gets wider, rendering an expansive horizon.
- One of the obvious changes for the 24mm lens is reducing the minimum focusing distance to 0.6m, therefore, you don't have to back away too much to focus the subject when shooting space is limited.
- Not just for video use, this lens allows you to distinguish your photo from a standard 16:9 photo, with all the noticeable anamorphic elements including a spectacular 2.4:1 rectangular look, blue light streak, and oval bokeh.
- The precision aluminum alloy enhances the strength of the lens housing. Assembling with the solid housing, the copper Aperture and Focus rings are designed with an anti-slip teeth surface for smooth, comfortable focus and light adjustment.
- The high-class Schott glass lens elements with Nano-coating can suppress aberration and vignette, rendering excellent resolution and sharpness to a cinematic image.

For anyone thinking about jumping into anamorphic lenses, buy it. It's actually a good lens to shoot night photos.
One thing many folks don't talk about is that the 1.33x squeeze factor nearly compensates for the crop factor of the lens on APS-C (not MFT).
For this 24mm focal length, on an APS-C sensor will still net you roughly 25mm instead of the normal 36mm effective focal length.

This is actually quite interesting on a Micro Four Thirds sensor, because 24mm equates to a 48mm FF field of view, which is a very useful focal length (~50mm is a pretty standard option for getting something like the same perspective as what your eyes see)...except tacking on 0.33x of extra width. An MFT sensor has a 4:3 aspect ratio. 4 x 1.33 = 5.32. So now you've got a 5.32:3 aspect ratio...which is almost exactly 16:9. Which means if you have a camera that can shoot open gate or 4:3 video utilizing the whole sensor, with a lens like this you can get 16:9 video that uses (roughly) every pixel on the sensor!
