Designed for use with most smartphone models, the 1.55XT Anamorphic Movie Lens from Ulanzi captures video with an extremely wide 2.80:1 aspect ratio, which is typically far greater than what standard optics can accomplish. Anamorphic lenses accomplish this by horizontally squeezing, or vertically stretching a wider image onto your phone's sensor. As this lens performs a squeeze of 1.58x, the horizontal field of view will increase by 58%, which gives videos an aspect ratio of 2.80:1, as compared to the spherical, or non-anamorphic ratio of 16:9 (1.78:1). When used with strong light sources, anamorphic lenses also create unique lens flares. Your video is further enhanced by a multi-layer HD optical coating and the lens' 52mm thread mount, which allows for external filters to be used. Thanks to an aluminum alloy frame, this lens is sturdy and durable.
