Designed for filmmakers using Super35

This lens is built specifically for Super35 sensors. As a result, it suits narrative filmmaking, commercials, music videos, and other creative cinematography where an anamorphic look is desired.

Optical performance and aperture

With a T2.8 aperture, the Nanomorph 27mm provides a relatively fast stop for an anamorphic lens. Therefore, you can control depth of field while shooting in lower light. The lens uses precision anamorphic optics to deliver sharp detail and to minimize focus breathing during focus pulls.

Compact build for versatile mounting

The lens has a compact and lightweight form factor, which makes it suitable for handheld work, gimbal setups, and drone cinematography. Because it is small and portable, it integrates easily into rigs where space and balance matter.

Professional controls and construction

The Nanomorph features standard 0.8 mod geared rings for both focus and aperture. Consequently, you can pair it seamlessly with professional follow-focus systems. It offers manual focus and aperture control only, giving filmmakers precise, tactile adjustments. The lens is constructed from durable all-metal materials for reliable, professional-grade use on set.

Flare options and visual character

This amber version produces a warm amber flare that adds cinematic warmth and golden highlights to your footage. Laowa also offers the Nanomorph in blue and neutral flare variants, allowing you to choose the flare color that best fits your project.
