Venus Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Micro Four Thirds, Amber Flare

Be at the forefront of cinematic innovation with the Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Micro Four Thirds, featuring an Amber Flare option. This lens, renowned as the world's smallest anamorphic lens compatible with Super35 sensors, offers filmmakers a lightweight and compact solution without compromising on the classic anamorphic characteristics.

Crafted for versatility, the Nanomorph lens weighs a mere 11.04 oz (313g) and measures just 3.39" (86mm) in length. Its diminutive stature is perfect for dynamic shooting scenarios including handheld, gimbal, slider, confined spaces, and even aerial drone cinematography. Unlike traditional anamorphic lenses that are often too bulky for drone use, the Nanomorph's compact design expands creative possibilities for aerial shots.

Designed with Super35 and Micro Four Thirds sensors in mind, the Nanomorph lens also provides coverage for Full Frame cameras such as the Sony A7siii in 4K 16:9 mode, with only minimal vignetting, thereby enhancing its utility across various camera systems.

The Amber Flare option introduces a warm, passionate quality to your footage, ideal for both narrative scenes and capturing the essence of day or night shots. This unique feature adds emotional depth and a distinct visual style to your projects.

Experience a pronounced cinematic widescreen effect with the lens's 1.5x squeeze ratio, delivering a 2.66:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeezing. This ratio outperforms the 1.33x anamorphic lenses by providing a more substantial anamorphic look, while avoiding the excessive image waste associated with 1.8x/2x squeeze lenses.

The Nanomorph lens also produces cinematic oval bokeh, a hallmark of anamorphic imagery, enhancing the artistic quality of your shots. The 1.5x squeeze ratio accentuates the sense of compression and delivers a more pronounced oval bokeh effect.

Anamorphic lenses typically have longer minimum focusing distances, but the Nanomorph breaks the mold with one of the shortest close focusing distances in its class at 16.9 inches. This allows for extremely close-up shots with a shallower depth of field and more intense bokeh, offering greater framing flexibility.

Laowa's commitment to professional quality ensures a constant squeeze ratio at all focusing distances, eliminating the issue of anamorphic mumps - a common problem in less expensive lenses where the squeeze ratio changes with focus, distorting the subject's proportions.

The Nanomorph lens boasts a new patented anamorphic structure that places anamorphic elements behind the spherical components and focusing groups. This innovative design ensures a uniform squeeze ratio and maintains optical quality while allowing for a smaller, more manageable lens size.

Convenience is key with the unified gear position, enabling swift lens changes without the need to readjust focus gear. The lens also features a 55mm filter thread for direct attachment of screw-in filters, streamlining your setup for run-and-gun shooting or drone flights.

Industry-standard 0.8 mod gear is integrated into both the aperture and focus rings for compatibility with a wide range of filmmaking equipment. Additionally, the lens offers flange adjustment with a 0.9mm hex key (included), allowing for precise back focus tuning and ensuring accurate alignment across different cameras.

With dual scale markings in both imperial and metric units on the lens body, the Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Micro Four Thirds, Amber Flare, is a versatile and indispensable tool for filmmakers seeking to capture the essence of cinematic storytelling with ease and precision.
