The Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5X S35 (Amber) is a compact, lightweight anamorphic cine lens made for Super35 cinema cameras. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to create a true cinematic widescreen look. The lens features oval bokeh and elongated flares, and its 27mm focal length gives a natural wide-angle perspective suited for narrative filmmaking, commercials, music videos and creative cinematography.
With a T2.8 aperture, this lens lets filmmakers control depth of field and work in lower light. The lens uses precision anamorphic optics to preserve sharp details and to minimize focus breathing. You get manual focus and aperture control for precise adjustments during a shot.
The Nanomorph 27mm comes in a compact form factor that fits handheld rigs, gimbals and drones. It includes standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture, so you can integrate professional follow-focus systems without extra modification. The lens is built in durable all-metal construction for reliable operation on set.
This Amber version produces a warm, golden-hued streak effect that adds cinematic warmth to footage. The amber tone suits period dramas, romantic scenes and naturalistic lighting setups while preserving the classic anamorphic aesthetic. Laowa also offers this lens in blue and neutral flare options if you want different flare coloration.
