Lenses with focal lengths of 28 mm, 40 mm and 65 mm provide anamorphization with a factor of 1.8, that is, when used with Micro Four Thirds cameras, such as the Lumix GH5 / s, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera or Z-cam E2, they allow Get a frame with an aspect ratio of 2.39: 1. Sales of the first of three models, the Vazen 40mm T2, began shortly after the announcement.
