The Laowa 1.33x Front Anamorphic Adapter expands your cinematic toolkit by adding anamorphic compression and characteristic flare options. Use it with Laowa Nanomorph lenses to achieve a consistent 2x squeeze ratio, ideal for producing widescreen visuals on 4:3 or 6:5 sensors. You can also mount the adapter on compatible spherical lenses to introduce a distinctive anamorphic character to your footage.
When paired with the Nanomorph series, the adapter produces a reliable 2x squeeze ratio that helps you deliver widescreen compositions without switching lenses. Alternatively, attach it to spherical lenses to add an anamorphic look — including oval bokeh and horizontal streaks — while keeping your existing lens set in use.
The adapter is offered with three flare looks: amber, blue, and silver. Choose the flare variant that best matches your scene’s mood or your project’s visual style. Each option keeps the adapter’s optical clarity while introducing a different anamorphic character.
The adapter works with full-frame sensors and is compatible with various lens platforms. It includes step-up rings for 55mm, 62mm, and 77mm threads to fit a wide range of front lens diameters. This makes it straightforward to use with Nanomorph mirrorless and PL/EF versions, as well as other compatible spherical lenses.
The adapter supports a minimum focusing distance of 73 cm, enabling sharp close-up shots while preserving the anamorphic effect. This allows you to capture detailed near-subject work without sacrificing the distinctive look the adapter provides.

Question: Will this adapter give me a full 2x squeeze on its own?
Answer: The adapter provides a 1.33x squeeze by itself; when paired with Laowa Nanomorph lenses it produces a consistent 2x squeeze suitable for widescreen use on 4:3 or 6:5 sensors.
Question: Can I use the adapter with lenses other than Laowa Nanomorphs?
Answer: Yes. The adapter can be mounted on compatible spherical lenses to introduce an anamorphic aesthetic. Use the included step-up rings (55mm, 62mm, 77mm) to match common front thread sizes.
Question: Which flare option should I pick for my project?
Answer: Choose amber, blue, or silver based on the mood you want: each flare option alters the color and feel of highlights while maintaining the adapter’s anamorphic character. Consider testing each in your shooting conditions to see which matches your visual goals.
Question: Is this adapter suitable for full-frame cameras and close-up work?
Answer: Yes. The adapter is compatible with full-frame sensors and supports a minimum focusing distance of 73 cm, allowing for close compositions while retaining anamorphic effects.
