Laowa 1.33X Front Anamorphic Adapter (Silver)

Laowa 1.33x Front Anamorphic Adapter – Achieve a consistent 2x squeeze with Laowa Nanomorph lenses

The Laowa 1.33x Front Anamorphic Adapter extends your cinematic options by adding an anamorphic squeeze and characteristic flare to your images. When you pair it with Laowa Nanomorph lenses, it produces a consistent 2x squeeze on 4:3 or 6:5 sensors. You can also mount it on suitable spherical lenses to introduce an anamorphic aesthetic without changing your primary optics.

Key features and benefits

• 1.33x anamorphic squeeze ratio — produces the equivalent of a 2x squeeze when combined with Nanomorph lenses on the appropriate sensors.
• Full-frame sensor compatibility — the adapter works with full-frame sensor setups as stated.
• Three flare options — choose Amber, Blue, or Silver to shape the flare aesthetic to match your project’s mood.
• Close focusing — the adapter supports a minimum focusing distance of 73 cm for tighter shots and closer subject framing.
• Included step-up rings — the package contains 55mm, 62mm, and 77mm step-up rings to fit a range of lens front threads.

Compatibility and practical use

Use the adapter with Laowa Nanomorph lenses to reliably achieve a 2x squeeze ratio on 4:3 or 6:5 sensors. This gives you widescreen framing and an anamorphic look without swapping core lenses. Alternatively, mount the adapter on compatible spherical lenses to add a distinctive anamorphic touch and flare character to footage shot with your existing glass.

Because the adapter ships with multiple step-up rings (55mm, 62mm, 77mm), you can quickly adapt it to various lens thread sizes. The product notes explicit compatibility with Nanomorph mirrorless and PL/EF versions, as well as other compatible spherical lenses that accept the supplied rings.

FAQ

Question: Will this adapter give me a true 2x anamorphic squeeze?
Answer: When you pair the 1.33x adapter with Laowa Nanomorph lenses on 4:3 or 6:5 sensors, it produces a consistent 2x squeeze as described. With other lenses or sensor formats, the effective squeeze will differ.

Question: Can I use this adapter on my spherical lenses?
Answer: Yes. The adapter can be mounted on compatible spherical lenses to introduce an anamorphic look and distinctive flare. The included step-up rings help adapt the adapter to common thread sizes.

Question: What flare options are available and why does that matter?
Answer: The adapter is offered in Amber, Blue, and Silver flare versions. Each option alters the color and character of lens flares, so you can pick the look that best matches your scene or creative intent.

Question: How close can I focus with the adapter attached?
Answer: The adapter supports a minimum focusing distance of 73 cm, which allows for relatively tight close-up compositions while retaining the anamorphic character.
