Lens Overview — Laowa 35mm Anamorphic Lens

The Laowa Nanomorph 35mm is a prime anamorphic cinema lens designed for Super 35 cameras, available in PL Mount. Built around a 35mm focal length, this lens is positioned in the standard focal length range, making it a versatile choice for a wide variety of narrative and documentary shooting scenarios. It features a maximum aperture of T2.4 — note that the specifications list this as f/2.4, so buyers should verify the exact stop value with the seller — giving cinematographers reasonable light-gathering capability in controlled and lower-light environments.

The lens is entirely manual focus, with no autofocus system, which is consistent with professional cinema lens workflows where precise, repeatable focus pulls are expected. Image stabilization is not present, as is standard for cinema prime lenses used on stabilized rigs or gimbals. Weighing just 330g, the Nanomorph 35mm is notably compact and lightweight for an anamorphic prime, which makes it well-suited for run-and-gun shooting, gimbal work, or smaller cinema camera builds.

It accepts 55mm front filters and is categorized as a Super 35 format lens. The PL Mount is a widely used cinema lens standard, ensuring broad compatibility across professional cinema camera systems.
