Laowa Nanomorph 20mm T2.2 1.5X MFT (Silver) – Compact 1.5x anamorphic for Micro Four Thirds with fast T2.2 aperture

The Laowa Nanomorph 20mm T2.2 1.5X is a compact anamorphic lens built for filmmakers who want a cinematic widescreen look on smaller format systems. It uses a 1.5x squeeze ratio to create natural widescreen compression, oval bokeh, and horizontal flares, while keeping a portable form factor suitable for handheld, gimbal, and run-and-gun shooting styles.

Designed for portable anamorphic shooting

This lens targets independent filmmakers and content creators who need anamorphic character without heavy, traditional glass. Because it stays compact, you can mount it on Micro Four Thirds cameras and move quickly between handheld, gimbal, and fast-paced setups. In short, it brings classic anamorphic aesthetics to smaller rigs.

Optical features and artistic options

The Nanomorph 20mm has a fast T2.2 maximum aperture, which suits low-light work and helps produce shallow depth of field for subject separation. Also, you can choose between three distinct flare color styles—blue, amber, or silver—to match different artistic preferences and on-set looks.

Cine-style controls and performance

Despite its compact size, the lens includes cine-standard controls. It features 0.8 MOD gears on both the focus and aperture rings, enabling smooth manual control and easy integration with follow focus systems. Additionally, the lens offers a long 270° focus throw for precise focus pulls and exhibits minimal focus breathing and edge distortion to maintain consistent image quality during focus changes.

Mounts and construction

The Nanomorph 20mm is available in both PL and native MFT mounts, giving you mount flexibility depending on your camera system. The lens uses a durable, lightweight all-metal construction to withstand professional use while keeping the overall weight low for mobile setups.
