Vazen

Chinese anamorphic lens maker from Shenyang, founded 2019 and shut down in March 2024. The only maker of a 1.8x squeeze — the lenses exist, the company does not.

Vazen has achieved what indie filmmakers have dreamed of for years: real anamorphic lenses under $5,000 per lens. The 1.8x squeeze primes deliver oval bokeh, flares, and the typical anamorphic look — not perfect like Panavision, but real. For Micro Four Thirds and APS-C.
