Creating an Authentic '70s Sound in Daisy Jones & the Six

The Laowa Nanomorph 65mm and 85mm anamorphic lenses are finally available.

The past few years have felt like a dream for creatives needing affordable anamorphic options. Before companies like Sirui, Venus Optics, and, more recently, Viltrox completely changed the market, filmmakers were forced to either pay out the nose or utilize complicated setups using anamorphic projection lenses. Thankfully, those days seem to be gone.

However, most of these new affordable anamorphic options don't have a robust set, with most topping out at three lenses per series. Until now, that is.

Venus Optics has expanded its Laowa Nanomorph 1.5x anamorphic line with two additional lenses, a 65mm and an 80mm, for practically every lens mount ever made. Here's why we're excited about these new tools.
