Compact Anamorphic for Super 35
The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens delivers a cinematic widescreen look on Sony E-mount cameras. Its 1.5x constant squeeze ratio produces distinctive blue flares and oval bokeh for visual storytelling. Weighing 11.04 oz and measuring 3.39 inches, it is built for handheld, gimbal, slider or drone workflows. The 27mm focal length covers Super 35 and Micro Four Thirds sensors with a larger image circle that allows full-frame use with mild vignetting.
Suited for solo shooters needing lightweight
Filmmakers who want pronounced anamorphic character without the bulk of traditional designs will benefit from the compact 15-element, 13-group construction. The fast T2.8 aperture supports low-light work and shallow depth of field. This lens is not for productions that require a 1.33x squeeze ratio or a different focal length for wider or tighter framing. Buyers needing PL mount or other lens mounts should look elsewhere.
1.5x squeeze ratio defines the anamorphic look
The constant 1.5x squeeze is the single specification that determines the final aspect ratio, flare shape and bokeh style. It creates a more pronounced widescreen perspective than a 1.33x design. Confirm your workflow can desqueeze 1.5x footage in post and that the 27mm field of view matches your creative intent on Super 35 or full-frame sensors.

Questions about this item
How often will the 15-element optical design need professional cleaning or realignment?
The 15 elements in 13 groups are sealed internally; routine maintenance is limited to wiping the front and rear glass with a lens cloth and blower.
What optical limit appears first when shooting extended takes at T2.8?
At maximum aperture the 1.5× squeeze produces visible oval bokeh and mild vignetting on full-frame sensors, which becomes the defining look before diffraction or fall-off.
How much heat does the barrel generate during all-day gimbal or drone operation?
The passive metal barrel stays near ambient temperature; with no electronics or motors inside, heat build-up is negligible even during continuous recording.
