Laowa 20mm T2.2 Nanomorph Anamorphic Lens

The Laowa 20mm T2.2 Nanomorph is a prime anamorphic lens built for Super 35 cinema and mirrorless camera systems. With a fixed 20mm focal length and a wide-angle field of view, this lens is well-suited for expansive environmental shots, dramatic interiors, and run-and-gun cinematography where a compact footprint matters. At T2.2, it offers a respectable maximum aperture for a lens in the anamorphic category, allowing usable performance in lower-light conditions.

Weighing just 304g, the Nanomorph is notably lightweight for an anamorphic optic, making it a practical choice for handheld rigs and smaller camera setups. It accepts 55mm front filters, which is a relatively modest thread size that keeps the lens compact and filter costs manageable. The lens is manually focused, which is standard practice in cinema workflows where a dedicated focus puller or follow focus system is typically used.

It is available across a broad range of mounts — PL, Canon EF, Sony E, Micro Four Thirds, and L-Mount — giving it wide compatibility across popular mirrorless and cinema camera systems. Image stabilization is not included, so stable support is recommended. The Super 35 lens format makes it a natural fit for dedicated cinema cameras and crop-sensor mirrorless bodies.
