Compact Cinematic Anamorphic
The Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 is a 1.5x squeeze anamorphic lens built for Super 35 sensors and Canon RF mount. Weighing 11.04 oz (313g) and measuring 3.39" (86mm) long, it delivers silver flares and oval bokeh in a form factor suited to gimbal, drone, and tight-space work. Its 15 elements in 13 groups resolve sharpness across the frame for professional filmmaking.
Super 35 Filmmakers Seeking Portability
This lens suits creators who need a true anamorphic look on Super 35 or Micro Four Thirds cameras without the bulk of traditional designs. Full-frame shooters should note coverage exceeds S35 but produces mild vignetting on sensors like the Sony A7S III in 4K 16:9. Buyers requiring a faster maximum aperture or a different squeeze ratio for wider aspect ratios will need to consider other optical designs.
1.5x Squeeze Ratio Defines the Look
The 1.5x horizontal squeeze is the single specification that determines the final aspect ratio and character of the footage. It provides a wider horizontal field of view and shallower depth of field than spherical lenses, creating the signature stretched oval bokeh. A 2x squeeze would yield a different widescreen geometry; this 1.5x factor is fixed by the optical design.

Questions about this item
Does my camera need a Canon RF mount to use this 27mm lens?
Yes, this lens is built for Canon RF mount bodies and covers Super 35 sensors; it can also be used on full-frame models with mild vignetting.
Will the 1.5x squeeze work with my existing spherical lenses on a Super 35 sensor?
The 1.5x squeeze gives a wider horizontal field of view and oval bokeh that spherical lenses do not produce, so mixing them will change the look of the footage.
How can I verify the 15-element optical design is performing correctly after mounting?
Check for uniform sharpness across the frame at T2.8, confirm silver flare colour matches the light source, and verify oval bokeh appears in out-of-focus highlights.
