Venus Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Canon RF, Amber Flare

If you're seeking to elevate your filmmaking with the cinematic allure of Hollywood productions, the Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Canon RF, featuring an Amber Flare, is your gateway to visual storytelling with an artistic edge. This lens stands out as the world's smallest anamorphic lens designed to cover Super35 sensors, offering filmmakers a compact, lightweight solution without compromising on the classic anamorphic characteristics.

Crafted for versatility, the Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 lens is engineered to be super light and tiny, weighing a mere 11.04 oz (313g) and measuring just 3.39" (86mm) in length. This groundbreaking design enables seamless integration into any filming setup, whether handheld, mounted on a gimbal, a slider, navigating through tight spaces, or even soaring on a drone. Its diminutive size defies the traditional limitations of anamorphic lenses, making previously impossible shots a reality, especially for drone pilots facing weight constraints.

The lens's Super 35 coverage is meticulously designed for Super35 (APS-C) and Micro Four Thirds sensors, while also accommodating Full Frame cameras like the Sony A7siii 4K 16:9 with only mild vignetting, thus broadening its compatibility and usage scenarios. The introduction of the Amber Flare option adds a warm, passionate vibe to your footage, ideal for both narrative and day-to-night transitions.

Experience the cinematic widescreen effect with a 1.5x squeeze ratio, which yields a 2.66:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze, delivering a more pronounced anamorphic and cinematic look compared to 1.33x anamorphic lenses. Unlike 1.8x/2x squeeze lenses that can waste image area when paired with 16:9 sensors, the Laowa Nanomorph ensures a wider horizontal field of view and shallower depth of field, enhancing the visual impact of your films.

The lens's anamorphic design produces cinematic oval bokeh, with a 1.5x squeeze ratio that accentuates the stretched, oval-shaped out-of-focus highlights, adding an artistic touch to your images. This stronger sense of compression and bokeh shape is a hallmark of the anamorphic aesthetic.

One of the standout features of the Nanomorph is its short focusing distance, which is uncommon among anamorphic lenses due to optical design constraints. This lens boasts one of the shortest close focusing distances in its class at 16.9 inches, allowing for very close-up shots with a much shallower depth of field and stronger bokeh, offering filmmakers greater framing flexibility.

Laowa has addressed the issue of anamorphic mumps - where the squeeze ratio varies at closer focusing distances, distorting the subject's size - by ensuring a constant squeeze ratio at all focusing distances. This uniformity is achieved through a new patented anamorphic structure that places anamorphic blocks behind the spherical elements and focusing groups, maintaining optical integrity throughout the focus range.

The Nanomorph lens also features a unified gear position for quick lens changes without the need to readjust focus gear, a 55mm filter thread for direct attachment of screw-in filters, and industry-standard 0.8 mod gear on both aperture and focus rings for compatibility with filmmaking accessories. Additionally, filmmakers can fine-tune the back focus with a 0.9mm hex key (included), ensuring accurate and aligned scale readings after switching cameras. Dual scale markings in both imperial and metric units are printed on the lens body for precise focus measurements.

In summary, the Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens for Canon RF with Amber Flare is a revolutionary tool for filmmakers who desire the cinematic look of anamorphic lenses without the bulk and weight, offering unparalleled flexibility and creative potential in a compact, user-friendly package.
