Why choose the Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens? This high-quality, versatile lens is the world's smallest anamorphic lens designed specifically for Super35 sensors, making it an innovative choice for professional filmmakers and photographers. Weighing a mere 1.08 lbs and measuring just 2.63" in length, this lens is not only compact but also incredibly durable, perfect for handheld shooting, gimbal use, slider shots, and even drone photography.Anamorphic lenses are renowned for their use in big-budget Hollywood productions, and the Laowa Nanomorph brings this cinematic widescreen perspective to your fingertips. Its 1.5x constant squeeze delivers a 2.66:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze, providing a more pronounced anamorphic and cinematic look compared to a 1.33x anamorphic lens. This lens offers a wider horizontal field of view and shallower depth of field than spherical lenses, enhancing the artistic touch to your images with its stretched oval bokeh.The Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens is also equipped with a unique Amber Flare option, delivering a warm and passionate vibe suitable for both narrative and day/night shots. This lens is designed to cover Super35 (APS-C) & Micro Four Thirds sensors, but its larger than S35 coverage allows it to be used on Full Frame cameras like the Sony A7siii 4K 16:9 with only mild vignetting.One of the standout features of this lens is its short focusing distance, one of the shortest among all anamorphic lenses in the market. This allows filmmakers to obtain very close-up shots, rendering a much shallower depth of field and stronger bokeh, offering higher flexibility in framing. The Laowa Nanomorph guarantees a constant squeeze ratio at all focusing distances, eliminating the issue of anamorphic mumps found in cheaper anamorphic lenses. This lens also features a new patented anamorphic design that ensures a uniform squeeze ratio, promising optical quality, compact size, and affordability.Additional features include a unified gear position for quick lens switching without readjustment on the focus gear, a 77mm filter thread for screw-in filters, and industry-standard 0.8 mod gear installed on both aperture and focus rings. The lens also allows for flange adjustment and includes both imperial and metric scales printed on the lens body. In conclusion, the Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens is a professional, innovative, and versatile choice for filmmakers and photographers seeking to capture high-quality, cinematic images.
