Description — Laowa 27mm T2.8 DL Mount S35
The Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 is a manual focus anamorphic prime from Venus Optics, built for the DJI DL mount and designed to cover Super 35 sensors. Classified as a wide-angle prime within the cinema and video camera system category, it operates at a maximum aperture of T2.8, providing meaningful low-light capability for filmmakers. Weighing in at just 313g, this lens punches above its weight in portability for an anamorphic optic, making it particularly well-suited to weight-sensitive rigs such as gimbals and drones.
The 55mm filter thread offers compatibility with standard cinema and photo filter systems. As a prime lens with no zoom capability and no image stabilization, the Nanomorph 27mm is purpose-built for controlled cinema environments where manual focus technique and external stabilization are already part of the workflow. Its amber flare character is a defining aesthetic trait of the Nanomorph series, adding a warm visual signature to cinematic footage.
