The Vazen 65mm T2 1.8x Anamorphic lens for Micro Four Thirds format is finally here, completing the trio of Micro Four Thirds, owner-op priced anamorphic lenses. Micro Four Thirds Set It was back in June 2019 when Vazen initially announced three anamorphic lenses for the Micro Four Thirds format. Now, some 18 months later, the trio is complete. The 65mm T2 1.8x is the longest in focal length of the three. Let’s take a closer look. Features This lens is most similar to the Vazen 40mm – near identical size, not too much weight difference at 1.68 kg (3.70 lbs.), both T2-T16, 95mm front diameter (the 28mm is much smaller). The most notable difference of the 65mm is the extended minimum focus distance (MFD) – 1.09m/ 3.6 feet (40mm is 0.82m/2.7 feet) – however this is normal for a lens of a longer focal length. For MFD comparison of other anamorphic lenses in a same focal length class: the Kowa P+S 75mm is 1m/3’ and the Orion 65mm is 0.8m/2.5’ (both Super35mm format). 65mm and 40mm similar in size, 28mm much smaller.
