The Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5X S35 (Amber) for MFT is a compact anamorphic cine lens built for Super35 cameras. It provides a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to deliver a true cinematic widescreen image. Filmmakers will notice oval bokeh, elongated flares, and a warm amber flare character in this version.
Key visual character and uses
With a 27mm focal length and a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze, this lens produces a natural wide-angle perspective suited to narrative filmmaking, commercials, music videos, and creative cinematography. Moreover, the amber flare option gives footage a golden-hued streak that adds cinematic warmth. As a result, the lens works well for period dramas, romantic scenes, and naturalistic lighting setups while retaining the classic anamorphic aesthetic.
Optical performance and handling
The lens features a fast T2.8 aperture that helps filmmakers control depth of field and perform in lower-light conditions. In addition, Laowa built precision anamorphic optics into this model to ensure sharp detail and minimal focus breathing. The compact, lightweight design also makes the lens suitable for handheld use and mounting on gimbals or drones.
Professional operation and construction
For professional workflows, the lens uses standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture. Therefore, it integrates seamlessly with follow-focus systems. The lens also offers manual focus and aperture control for precise, tactile adjustments. Finally, the lens has a durable all-metal construction designed for professional reliability.
Available flare options
Laowa offers the Nanomorph series in different flare characters. This specific model produces an amber flare. Other available options include blue and neutral flares, allowing filmmakers to choose the visual character that best suits their project.
