Lens Overview — Laowa 27mm T2.8 1.5x Anamorphic

The Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x Anamorphic Lens is a manual-focus prime lens designed for Super 35 sensor cameras, offering filmmakers a compact anamorphic option in a mirrorless-friendly package. With a maximum aperture of T2.8, it provides a solid light-gathering capability for a lens of its type, making it a practical choice for a wide range of shooting conditions. The lens covers the Super 35 format, which aligns well with many popular cinema and hybrid mirrorless camera bodies.

Weighing in at 720g, it strikes a reasonable balance between build substance and portability for a dedicated anamorphic lens.

As a prime lens set at 27mm, it offers a consistent, predictable field of view suited to narrative, documentary, and indie production workflows.
