Great lens, long wait.

Hands down, one of the best purchases I've ever made for my students. Do yourself a service and get one. The only problem is that they are ALWAYS on backorder. I think they must make each one to order. (This is not a complaint about ADORAMA. They are amazing)

Great lens, long wait.

By ACCOUNTS P.

Hands down, one of the best purchases I've ever made for my students. Do yourself a service and get one. The only problem is that they are ALWAYS on backorder. I think they must make each one to order. (This is not a complaint about ADORAMA. They are amazing)

With the Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Leica L, Amber Flare, filmmakers and videographers can capture the world in a breathtakingly cinematic way. This lens, renowned for being the smallest anamorphic lens compatible with Super35 sensors, offers a unique combination of professional-grade features in a remarkably compact form factor.

At the heart of its design, the Laowa Nanomorph boasts a front anamorphic structure, ensuring a constant 1.5x squeeze ratio across all focusing distances. This feature eliminates the undesirable effect known as "anamorphic mumps," where the squeeze ratio changes with focus, distorting the subject. Instead, the lens maintains a consistent anamorphic character, providing a true widescreen 2.66:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze, which is more pronounced than what you would get from a 1.33x anamorphic lens.

The lens's lightweight build, weighing just 11.04 oz (313g) and measuring a mere 3.39" (86mm) in length, makes it an ideal choice for dynamic shooting scenarios. Whether mounted on a handheld rig, gimbal, slider, or even a drone, the Nanomorph's size and weight open up new creative possibilities, especially in situations where traditional anamorphic lenses would be too cumbersome.

Optimized for Super35 (APS-C) and Micro Four Thirds sensors, the Nanomorph also offers sufficient coverage for use on Full Frame cameras like the Sony A7siii in 4K 16:9 mode with only minimal vignetting, expanding its versatility.

The Amber Flare option introduces a warm, passionate ambiance to your footage, perfect for narrative scenes and capturing both day and night shots with an emotional impact. The lens's cinematic oval bokeh, produced by the 1.5x squeeze ratio, adds an artistic touch to the background, enhancing the visual storytelling.

One of the standout features of the Nanomorph is its short 16.9" close focusing distance, which is notably closer than many other anamorphic lenses. This allows for intimate close-up shots with a shallower depth of field and more pronounced bokeh, offering filmmakers greater flexibility in framing their subjects.

The lens also includes user-interchangeable mounts, a unified gear position for quick lens changes, and a 55mm filter thread that accommodates screw-in filters for convenient setups. The industry-standard 0.8 mod gear on both the aperture and focus rings ensures compatibility with a wide range of follow focus systems.

Furthermore, the Laowa Nanomorph features a dual scale with both imperial and metric measurements, and a flange adjustment mechanism that allows for fine-tuning of the back focus with the included 0.9mm hex key, ensuring accuracy and alignment when switching between different camera systems.

In summary, the Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Leica L, Amber Flare, is a groundbreaking tool for filmmakers seeking to achieve a cinematic look with the convenience of a small, lightweight, and versatile lens. Its innovative design and professional features make it a valuable addition to any filmmaker's kit.
