Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5X S35 (Silver) – (Cine) Sony E

The Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens is a sleek, compact lens designed for capturing high-definition video with a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze on S35 sensors. It features a 27mm focal length, a Sony E lens mount, and an aperture range of T2.8 to T22 for a deep depth of field, enhanced by 13 iris blades for a shallow depth of field and soft bokeh. The lens boasts a very short minimum focus distance of 16.9″ and delivers distinct anamorphic characteristics, including high contrast, silver colour lens flares, and a 70.8° horizontal field of view. Additional features include measurement markings in feet and meters, 0.8 MOD cine gears on the focus and aperture rings, and a 55mm front filter thread. The Sony E lens mount is interchangeable and can be swapped for an optional mount.

Constant 1.5x Squeeze Ratio

A 1.5x squeeze ratio is a perfect balance between the size and anamorphic intensity. With a 1.5x squeeze ratio, you will have a 2.66:1 on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze. There is also room for you to crop into a 2.4:1 widescreen ratio.

Artistic Oval Bokeh

A 1.5x squeeze ratio also renders oval bokeh that gives an artistic touch to the image. It also creates a blurry and creamy background that pops out the subject.

Silver Anamorphic Flare Colour

Compared to the more common blue flare, the silver flare is a neutral-coloured flare that provides more control over the flare colour. Its colour changes according to the light source, and it can be relatively subtler and less distracting.

Short Focus Distance

The 16.9″ close focus distance is short so users can create closer shots. It renders a shallower depth of field, so the sense of compression will be stronger and the bokeh will be more oval-shaped.

Unified Gear Position

The unified gear position allows users to switch lenses quickly and without readjustment on the focus gear.

55mm Filter Thread

A 55mm filter can be attached directly to the lens for a variety of handy setups. The small diameter is favorable when doing run-and-gun shots or utilising it with an aerial drone.

Dual Scales

Both imperial and metric scales are printed on the lens body.

0.8 MOD Gears

Industry-standard 0.8 MOD gears are installed on both the aperture and focus rings.

Flange Back Adjustment

The lens allows users to adjust the back focus easily.
