Description — Vazen 28mm T2.2 1.8x
The Vazen 28mm T2.2 Anamorphic Lens is purpose-built for Micro Four Thirds camera systems and targeted squarely at cinema and video applications. As a prime lens fixed at 28mm in the wide-angle focal length range, it is well suited for establishing shots, environmental scenes, and any cinematic work that benefits from a broader perspective. The T2.2 maximum aperture delivers capable light transmission for a cinema anamorphic lens, giving operators flexibility in a range of lighting conditions.
Focusing is manual only, consistent with professional cinema lens standards and allowing for smooth, controlled focus pulls. The lens features an 80mm filter thread for professional filter and matte box integration, and weighs 720g — manageable within a properly balanced rig. Image stabilization is not included, so external or in-body stabilization will be necessary depending on the shooting scenario. The Micro Four Thirds mount ensures direct compatibility with MFT-system cameras, and the lens is classified under the cinema and video camera system category, reflecting its intended professional production use.
