Lens Overview — Vazen 40mm T2

The Vazen 40mm T2 Anamorphic Prime Lens for Canon RF Mount is a manual-focus anamorphic prime built for full-frame cinema and video applications. Designed around the Canon RF lens mount, it opens up anamorphic shooting possibilities for RF-compatible cinema and mirrorless cameras. At a T2 maximum aperture, this lens allows for shooting in lower light conditions while delivering the distinctive anamorphic character that cinematographers seek.

The lens is classified as a standard focal length prime at 40mm, making it a versatile option for a wide range of shooting scenarios from interviews to narrative work. Weighing in at 1,800g, it has a substantial, cinema-grade build that pairs well with larger rigs and matte box setups. The 95mm front filter thread is a common size in professional cinema lens lineups, allowing compatibility with a broad range of filtration and matte box systems.

The lens operates entirely in manual focus, which aligns with professional cinema workflows where focus pullers typically control focus by hand. With no image stabilization onboard, stable footage will rely on the camera body or rig support system. The full-frame image circle coverage means it is designed to cover sensors up to full-frame size, giving shooters maximum flexibility across compatible RF-mount cameras.
