Laowa Nanomorph 20mm T2.2 1.5X MFT (Amber) - (Cine) MFT

The Laowa Nanomorph 20mm T2.2 1.5x MFT Anamorphic (Amber Flare) is a remarkably compact, wide-angle prime designed specifically for Micro Four Thirds sensors. Delivering a constant 1.5x squeeze ratio, it brings the high-end cinematic aesthetic—complete with horizontal amber flares and oval bokeh—to smaller camera systems like the Panasonic GH series or Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K.

Weighing less than 11 oz and measuring a mere 3.3" in length, this lens redefines portability for anamorphic cinematography. It is an ideal solution for filmmakers utilizing drones, gimbals, or handheld rigs who want a wide, 2.66:1 widescreen perspective without the bulk of traditional anamorphic glass.

Product Features in Detail

Cinematic Widescreen for MFT
The 20mm focal length on MFT sensors provides a wide perspective that is ideal for landscapes, architecture, and establishing shots. After de-squeezing the 1.5x image, you are left with a 2.66:1 aspect ratio, giving your MFT footage the expansive, theatrical feel of a big-budget production.

Mastery of the Compact Workflow
This lens is a game-changer for solo operators and gimbal users. Because it is so light, it won't overtax the motors of compact stabilizers like the DJI RS3 Mini, and its small footprint makes it easy to balance, allowing for extended shooting days without operator fatigue.

Organic "Waterfall" Backgrounds
Despite its wide angle, the T2.2 aperture and 1.5x squeeze work together to create a smooth, vertical "waterfall" bokeh. This organic roll-off between the sharp subject and the out-of-focus background provides a painterly quality that spherical wide-angle lenses cannot achieve.

Professional 0.8 MOD Cine Gearing
Built for professional sets, the lens features industry-standard 0.8 MOD gears on both the focus and aperture rings. This ensures seamless integration with wireless follow-focus systems and manual cine rigs, providing tactile and repeatable control over your image.

Streamlined Filter Setup
The 55mm front filter thread allows for the direct attachment of standard screw-in NDs, polarizers, or diffusion filters. This is particularly useful for drone or "run-and-gun" setups where a heavy matte box would be impractical, keeping your camera rig as streamlined as possible.

Precision Dual Focus Scales
To accommodate international crews and different shooting styles, the lens body features highly visible focus marks in both feet and meters. This dual-scale design ensures that focus pullers can work accurately regardless of their preferred unit of measurement.
