Compact Anamorphic for Micro Four Thirds

The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 brings a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to Super 35 and Micro Four Thirds sensors. Its 15-element, 13-group optical design targets filmmakers who want a cinematic 2.66:1 aspect ratio after de-squeeze in a lens weighing 313g. Buyers needing full-frame coverage without vignetting or a faster maximum aperture will need a different optic.

Passive Thermal Performance

The lens has no active cooling, so thermals and noise are determined entirely by the camera body and environment. Its all-metal barrel measures 60mm by 86mm and dissipates heat passively during extended takes. Power draw is zero because the design is fully mechanical with no electronic contacts or motors.

Silver Flare Character and Portability

The silver flare coating produces distinctive horizontal streaks that shift colour with the light source, giving footage a vintage anamorphic signature. At 11.04oz the lens suits gimbal, slider and drone platforms where larger anamorphics exceed payload limits. No accessories or software are bundled; the mount is fixed to Micro Four Thirds.

Questions about this item

How do I mount this 27mm T2.8 lens on a Micro Four Thirds body and what step is often missed?

Align the lens mount index with the camera’s red dot, twist clockwise until it clicks, then remember to de-squeeze the 1.5x footage in post to reach the 2.66:1 aspect ratio.

What maintenance will the 15-element, 13-group optical design need over time?

Keep the front and rear elements clean with a blower and microfibre cloth; the internal groups are sealed and require no user service.

What limit appears first during extended handheld or gimbal runs with this 313g lens?

The T2.8 aperture is the practical ceiling — in bright light you’ll need ND filters to hold exposure without stopping down.
