Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5X S35 (Silver) – Compact 1.5x Anamorphic for Super35 (Fuji X)

The Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5X S35 (Silver) is a compact anamorphic cine lens built for Super35 cinema cameras with a Fuji X mount. It gives a true 1.5x anamorphic squeeze that creates a widescreen cinematic look while preserving a natural wide-angle perspective. Filmmakers will find it suitable for narrative films, commercials, music videos, and creative cinematography where an anamorphic aesthetic is desired.

Designed for cinematic widescreen and creative visuals

This 27mm focal length produces dynamic wide-angle shots useful in storytelling and commercial work. The 1.5x anamorphic squeeze delivers the characteristic widescreen framing and elongated highlights typical of anamorphic optics. Moreover, the silver flare option produces a neutral, modern flare rather than a strong color tint, giving you control over the visual character of your footage.

Optical performance and low-light capability

With a T2.8 aperture, the lens allows filmmakers to control depth of field while maintaining usable exposure in lower light. The precision anamorphic optics emphasize sharp details and reduce focus breathing, helping to keep shots consistent during focus pulls. The lens also produces oval bokeh and signature anamorphic flares, enhancing the cinematic look of out-of-focus areas and highlights.

Mechanical design and handling

The Nanomorph 27mm is compact and lightweight, making it practical for handheld shooting, gimbal setups, and drone cinematography. It features standard 0.8 mod geared rings for both focus and aperture, so you can integrate it seamlessly with professional follow-focus systems. The lens uses manual focus and manual aperture control, and it is built with durable all-metal construction for professional use.

Available flare options

The Nanomorph series offers different flare styles so you can tailor the lens’s visual signature. This Fuji X version is the silver flare variant, which keeps flares subtle and neutral. Other available flare options include blue and amber for different stylistic choices.
