The Laowa Nanomorph 60mm T2.9 1.5X S35 Macro blends anamorphic cinematic characteristics with true macro performance. Designed for Super 35 sensors, this lens pairs a 1.5x squeeze ratio with a 1:2 macro reproduction ratio. As a result, filmmakers can capture tight close-ups and wide anamorphic compositions using the same optical tool.
With its 60mm focal length, the lens works well for portraits, product shots and narrative storytelling where subject isolation and fine detail matter. The constant T2.9 aperture gives consistent exposure across the frame and supports a shallow depth of field when you need it. Meanwhile, the 1.5x squeeze produces the characteristic oval bokeh, enhanced field compression and signature horizontal lens flares associated with anamorphic imagery.
The Nanomorph is available in Arri PL and Canon EF mounts, providing flexibility for cinema cameras and many DSLR or mirrorless setups with appropriate adapters. It also comes in multiple flare color options—blue, amber, and silver—so you can choose the flare character that best matches your project. This particular listing references the amber flare option and the Arri PL / Canon EF mount availability.
Laowa built this lens for professional production. It features standard 0.8 MOD cine gears for both focus and aperture control, enabling smooth operation with follow focus systems. The lens offers a long focus throw and exhibits minimal focus breathing, which helps maintain consistent framing when racking focus. Additionally, an all-metal housing improves durability for frequent use on set.
Each feature supports specific production needs: the focal length and aperture aid portrait and product work, the anamorphic squeeze and flare options shape cinematic aesthetics, and the cine gears and metal housing support reliable on-set operation.
