Lens Overview — Vazen 28mm T2.2 1.8x

The Vazen 28mm T2.2 Anamorphic Lens is a wide-angle prime designed for the Micro Four Thirds system, built with cinema and video production workflows firmly in mind. With a maximum aperture of T2.2, it offers a reasonably fast light-gathering capability for a lens of this type, making it a practical choice for lower-light shooting situations. The lens is a true prime, fixed at 28mm, and falls squarely in the wide-angle focal length range — well suited for environmental storytelling, documentary work, or cinematic sequences that demand a broader field of view.

Focusing is entirely manual, which is standard practice for anamorphic cinema glass and gives the operator precise, repeatable control over focus pulls. The lens weighs 720g and accepts 80mm front filters, which is worth factoring into any matte box or filter system planning. Image stabilization is not present, so stabilization responsibilities fall to either the camera body or a dedicated support rig.

The Micro Four Thirds lens mount means it is directly compatible with MFT-mount camera systems. Classified as a cinema and video lens, the Vazen 28mm T2.2 is a purposeful tool for videographers and cinematographers working within the MFT ecosystem who want an anamorphic look without moving to a larger sensor format.
