Description — Laowa 27mm T2.8 1.5x Anamorphic
The Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 is a prime anamorphic lens built for Super 35 format mirrorless cameras, delivering a dedicated cinematic tool for indie and professional filmmakers alike. Designed as a manual focus lens, it puts creative control directly in the hands of the operator, as is standard in cinema production environments. The maximum aperture of T2.8 ensures reliable performance in a variety of lighting situations, while the fixed 27mm focal length makes it a predictable and consistent optic for narrative and documentary work.
At 720g, the lens is substantial enough to feel well-built without being unwieldy on a properly balanced rig. The 55mm filter thread adds practical compatibility with widely available filtration accessories. Covering the Super 35 format, it integrates naturally with many of today's most popular cinema-oriented mirrorless bodies.
Mount options include Canon EF, Sony E, Micro Four Thirds, L-Mount, and Nikon Z, offering exceptional flexibility across camera systems. Note that image stabilization is not included in this lens.
