Laowa 1.33X Front Anamorphic Adapter (Amber)

Laowa 1.33x Front Anamorphic Adapter – 1.33x squeeze; enables a consistent 2x squeeze with Nanomorph for cinematic widescreen on 4:3 or 6:5 sensors

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.

How it changes your images

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.

Flare and aesthetic options

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.

Compatibility and mounting

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.

Close focusing capability

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.
