Its lightweight and compact design defy the traditional notion that anamorphic lenses are bulky and heavy, opening up a world of new possibilities for creative shots.The Laowa Nanomorph lens is specifically designed for Super35 (APS-C) and Micro Four Thirds sensors, but its larger than S35 coverage also allows it to be used on Full Frame cameras like the Sony A7siii 4K 16:9 with only mild vignetting. The silver version of this lens offers a unique flare color based on the light source, adding an extra layer of artistic touch to your shots. With a 1.5x squeeze, you can achieve a 2.66:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze, delivering a pronounced anamorphic and cinematic look that sets your work apart.The lens also features a short focusing distance, one of the shortest among all anamorphic lenses in the market. This allows filmmakers to capture close-up shots with a shallower depth of field and stronger bokeh, offering greater flexibility in framing.

This ensures the actual size of the subject remains consistent, making it a reliable tool for professional shootings.The lens also features a new patented anamorphic structure that guarantees a uniform squeeze ratio, promising optical quality, compact size, and affordability. The anamorphic blocks are placed behind the spherical elements and the focusing groups, ensuring the image is formed and focused before the anamorphic blocks, maintaining a constant squeeze ratio regardless of focus changes.Additional features include a unified gear position for quick lens switching, a 77mm filter thread for screw-in filters, industry-standard 0.8 mod gear on both aperture and focus rings, flange adjustment for fine-tuning the back focus, and dual scale with both imperial and metric measurements printed on the lens body.
