The Laowa Nanomorph S35 Prime 3-Lens Bundle includes 27mm, 35mm and 50mm focal lengths in a silver finish and L Mount. Designed for Super35 cinema cameras, this set delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to produce cinematic widescreen compositions. The lenses offer specific aperture choices and optical characteristics suited to a range of shooting situations, from wide establishing shots to close, character-driven work.
These lenses use precision-engineered anamorphic optics to maintain sharp details and to minimise focus breathing. They also produce smooth focus transitions for controlled rack focus moves. In addition, the design emphasises oval bokeh and elongated horizontal flares typical of anamorphic glass.
Furthermore, this silver-flare version produces neutral, clean anamorphic flares rather than strong color-cast flares. As a result, you get a modern and versatile anamorphic look that integrates well with naturalistic colour palettes.
The bundle offers fast maximum apertures to help in low-light situations while providing depth-of-field control. Specifically, the 27mm is T2.8, and the 35mm and 50mm are T2.4. Each lens features a 13-blade iris, which contributes to a shallow depth of field and smooth, artistic bokeh that separates subjects from backgrounds.
The lenses use durable all-metal construction for reliability on set. They share a compact and lightweight design, making them suitable for handheld shooting and for use on gimbals and drones. In addition, the focus and aperture rings come with standard 0.8 mod gearing, enabling straightforward integration with professional follow-focus systems.
This three-lens set suits filmmakers who want an anamorphic widescreen look on Super35 cameras using an L Mount. It fits workflows that require manual control over focus and aperture and where compact, lightweight lenses are advantageous for movement-focused setups such as handheld, gimbal, or drone cinematography.

Question: Are these lenses compatible with Super35 cameras only?
Answer: The Laowa Nanomorph S35 Primes are specifically designed for Super35 cinema cameras and provide appropriate coverage for that format. They are supplied in L Mount as stated, so ensure your camera or adapter supports L Mount for proper use.
Question: What does the 1.5x anamorphic squeeze mean for my footage?
Answer: A 1.5x anamorphic squeeze stretches the image horizontally on the sensor and requires de-squeezing in post to achieve a widescreen, cinematic aspect. This squeeze also contributes to the characteristic oval bokeh and horizontal flare look associated with anamorphic optics.
Question: How do the silver flares affect colour and mood?
Answer: The neutral silver anamorphic flares in this bundle produce clean, modern highlights without a strong colour cast. This yields a subtler, more natural aesthetic compared to traditional coloured anamorphic flares, making the lenses adaptable across different visual styles.
Question: Can I use these lenses on a gimbal or drone setup?
Answer: Yes. The lenses are described as compact and lightweight, and they include standard 0.8 mod geared rings for follow-focus systems. These characteristics make them suitable for handheld, gimbal, and drone cinematography where weight and balance matter.
Question: What accessories come with the lenses for protection and handling?
Answer: Each lens ships with front and rear lens caps and protective lens cases, which help protect the optics during transport and storage and support practical handling on set.
