Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5X S35 (Amber) - (Cine) Canon RF

The Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x S35 Anamorphic (Amber Flare) is a remarkably slender and compact wide-angle prime designed for Super 35 sensors. Delivering a constant 1.5x squeeze ratio, it brings a high-definition cinematic look—complete with horizontal amber flares and oval bokeh—to a form factor that is significantly smaller than traditional anamorphic glass.

Featuring a Canon RF mount (interchangeable) and a rugged cine housing, this lens is a versatile solution for filmmakers who need a wide 70.8° horizontal field of view for landscapes or tight interiors. Its lightweight design makes it a perfect companion for gimbals, drones, and handheld rigs where mobility is paramount.

Product Features in Detail

The Perfect Anamorphic Balance
The 1.5x squeeze ratio is widely considered the "sweet spot" for modern digital sensors. It provides a cinematic 2.66:1 de-squeezed image, which offers plenty of flexibility to crop into a standard 2.4:1 widescreen ratio while maintaining significantly more anamorphic character than 1.33x lenses.

Professional Flange Back Adjustment
To ensure 100% accuracy on every camera body, the Nanomorph 27mm features a built-in flange back adjustment mechanism. This allows users to calibrate the back focus easily on set, ensuring that the focus marks on the lens remain perfectly aligned with the actual focal plane.

Unified Production Workflow
This lens is designed for speed. The unified gear positions mean that when you swap between different focal lengths in the Nanomorph series, you don't have to reposition your follow-focus motors or matte boxes. This significantly reduces downtime during lens changes.

Organic "Waterfall" Aesthetics
The 13-blade iris, combined with the 1.5x squeeze, creates a smooth and organic "waterfall" bokeh. This vertical stretching of out-of-focus highlights provides a sophisticated look that separates subjects from the background with a unique, non-spherical depth.

Streamlined Filter Compatibility
The 55mm front filter thread allows for the direct attachment of standard screw-in NDs, polarizers, or specialty filters. This is particularly advantageous for drone or gimbal work, where a heavy matte box would affect the balance and flight time of the rig.

Precision Dual Scaling
To accommodate international crews and various shooting styles, the lens is printed with both imperial (feet) and metric (meters) scales. The high-contrast markings ensure that focus pullers can work quickly and accurately in any environment, from bright daylight to low-light sets.
