I'm sure it was a manufacturer error, but I would like a discount/gift card or a change of lens. I use this in a rental house and I'm sure some clients are gonna have an issue with it eventually. Other than that, great lens.

Excellent lens and super light weight and super compact for an anamorphic. I have an APSC Sirui 35mm 1.33X 1.8f Anamorphic and that lens is super front heavy on my Sony FX30. I could not use that setup on my gimbal do to the massive weight of the Sirui. Weight got to be so annoying that when I saw the Nanomnorph I had to get it even though it’s almost twice the price of the Sirui anamorphic. I am suprised how tiny lens is. I also appreciate the built in focus/aperture gears. It’s a cinema lens it should have gears right? With the Sirui they give you slip o plastic gear rings which always seemed like an afterthought to me. Using the PD Movie Air Smart lidar autofocus system which works great with this lens. I have to warn anyone reading this. Be careful what filters ... MoreExcellent lens and super light weight and super compact for an anamorphic.

I have to warn anyone reading this. Be careful what filters you use with this 35mm lens because the lens is almost flush with the housing. If you screw on say an ND filter the filter will touch and may scratch the Nanomorph lens. The Nanomorph on the 35mm has a slight curve so it’s not flush and will hit your filter. That is one bad thing about this lens. I thank myself with being observant and noticed. Measured with a caliper how much space between lens and filter glass and yes the filter glass hits the lens. Could not use a 55mm ND but had to use a 58mm ND with a step up ring to make a gap between the filter and lens. Giving this lens 4 out of 5 only because of that. Don’t know what Laowa was thinking. Other than that beautiful images from this lens.

Conversion with supplied EF mount was not too difficult. Fit is perfect. Love this affordable option for shooting anamorphic. Ordered the Laowa Venus 1.33x front anamorphic adapter to get a 2x squeeze out of it. Because of the availability delay on the adapter I can't report on the two together yet. But at a 1.5x squeeze I'm pretty impressed. Every review on youtube has been pretty spot on so no need to repeat it here.
