Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5X S35 (Silver) — 1.5x Anamorphic Squeeze for Cinematic Widescreen (Sony E)

The Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5X S35 (Silver) is an anamorphic cine lens built for Super35 cameras with a Sony E mount. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to produce a true cinematic widescreen look. In addition, the 27mm focal length provides a natural wide-angle perspective suited to a range of filmmaking applications.

Designed for cinematic looks and versatile shooting

The lens produces oval bokeh and elongated anamorphic flares that create a recognizable cinematic aesthetic. Furthermore, Laowa offers this optical design in distinct flare character options — silver, blue, or amber — so filmmakers can choose the visual character that fits their project. This specific version features a neutral silver flare for a subtle and natural result.

With a fast T2.8 aperture, the lens gives filmmakers control over depth of field and supports shooting in lower light conditions. At the same time, the lens uses precision anamorphic optics to maintain sharp details and to minimise focus breathing during focus pulls.

Compact, rugged and ready for professional rigs

The Nanomorph 27mm is compact and lightweight, which makes it well suited for handheld work. Moreover, its size and weight also make it a strong candidate for gimbal and drone applications where space and payload matter.

For professional follow-focus systems, the lens includes standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture. It also provides manual focus and manual aperture control for precise, repeatable adjustments on set. Finally, the lens features durable all-metal construction to withstand professional use and rigging.
