Venus Optics has launched the Laowa Sunlight 2x FF Anamorphic Zoom Series, aiming to bring a new level of versatility and accessibility to full-frame anamorphic filmmaking.
Following in the footsteps of the Laowa Proteus series, the Sunlight zooms promise “exceptional” value and performance.
The lenses bring the anamorphic look to a wider audience while maintaining professional-grade quality. The Laowa Sunlight Series achieves its 2x anamorphic character through a sophisticated front anamorphic design, all while maintaining a compact size and lightweight build.
This allows filmmakers to experience the creative potential of front anamorphic lenses without the burdens of bulk and weight, opening up new possibilities for handheld shooting, gimbal work and dynamic camera movements.
