Description — Laowa 27mm T2.8 Anamorphic Cine Lens
The Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 is an anamorphic prime lens built around a PL Mount and designed to cover the Super 35 sensor format — the cornerstone format of professional cinema production. Its T2.8 maximum aperture delivers reliable performance in controlled lighting environments, while the prime configuration at 27mm keeps the optical design focused and consistent. Weighing only 313g, this lens punches well above its weight class in terms of portability, making it an attractive choice for productions that need to balance professional anamorphic imaging with practical rig constraints.
The 77mm filter thread accommodates a wide range of filtration and matte box options. As a fully manual focus lens with no image stabilization, it is purpose-built for the structured, crew-supported environment of professional cinema sets. The lens is classified as a standard focal length anamorphic prime within the Cinema / Video camera system category, and its anamorphic type designation signals its role in producing the distinctive widescreen cinematic look that distinguishes it from spherical alternatives.
