Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5X S35 (Blue) – 1.5x Anamorphic Squeeze with Classic Blue Flares

The Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5X S35 (Blue) is a compact anamorphic cine lens built for Super35 cinema cameras. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to create a true cinematic widescreen look while producing the classic blue streak flares associated with traditional anamorphic glass.

Designed for Super35 cinematography

This lens targets filmmakers working with Super35 sensors. Its 27mm focal length provides a natural wide-angle perspective suited to narrative filmmaking, commercials, music videos, and other creative cinematography. Because it offers a 1.5x squeeze, you get widescreen framing without cropping or post-squeeze compromises.

Optical characteristics and image rendering

The Nanomorph 27mm uses precision anamorphic optics to preserve sharp details and minimize focus breathing during focus pulls. With a fast T2.8 aperture, the lens gives you usable depth-of-field control and improved low-light capability compared to slower anamorphic lenses.

Additionally, the design produces beautiful oval bokeh and signature anamorphic flares. This particular blue flare version emphasizes traditional blue streaks to add a distinct cinematic touch to footage. Laowa also offers the same optical design with amber and neutral flare options for alternate visual characters.

Build, handling and professional controls

The lens features a compact, lightweight form factor that suits handheld shooting, gimbal setups, and drone applications. Filmmakers will appreciate the manual focus and aperture controls for precise, hands-on adjustment. Moreover, the lens comes with standard 0.8 MOD geared rings on both focus and aperture, enabling straightforward integration with professional follow-focus systems.

Laowa constructed the barrel in durable all-metal materials to meet professional reliability requirements. These mechanical choices support frequent use on sets and in the field while maintaining consistent operation.
