Description

The Nanomorph 27 mm T2.8 1.5X S35 is the widest representative of the innovative anamorphic film lens series from Venus Optics Laowa. The model presented here is compatible with cameras and camcorders equipped with the Sony E mount. It is the world’s smallest anamorphic lens to cover the Super 35 sensor, and offers a horizontal image compression ratio of 1.5x, enabling a 2.4:1 aspect ratio on the popular 16:9 sensor. The relatively short minimum focus distance of 43cm will open up completely new possibilities for image creation, as well as allowing a greater depth of field.

The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 27 mm T2.8 1.5X S35 Silver for Sony E weighs just 313 grams. Its length is 9 cm. Such a performance will not only work successfully when filming from a tripod and handheld, but also in combination with gimbals, sliders and drones.

Silver flare

The Nanomorph series lenses are available in 3 different variants: Silver (silver), Amber (amber) and Blue (blue). You will recognise them by the colour of the distinctive ring located on the barrel. Each variant offers a different shade of flare generated. The model presented here is a silver colour, close to neutral white. This is an extremely versatile solution, especially if you are working with different types of film production. The flares will be more neutral, subtle and less diffuse compared to those offered by the Blue and Amber models.

Get closer!

Limitations due to the specific optical design mean that the focusing distance of popular anamorphic lenses can sometimes be longer than those of traditional lenses. The Nanomorph series also excels in this field. The unique lenses from Venus Optics Laowa offer some of the shortest minimum focusing distances in the world of anamorphic optics! The Nanomorph 27 mm T2.8 1.5X S35 Silver for Sony E only needs 43 cm to catch focus. Larger zooms mean less depth of field and even more beautiful bokeh!

The ideal choice for filmmakers

The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 27 mm T2.8 1.5X S35 Silver lens for the Sony E was developed specifically with video makers in mind. The focus and aperture rings are equipped with 0.8 MOD gears, which are compatible with popular follow focus systems. Their unified position on each lens in the Nanomorph series will enable quick glass changes without the need to readjust settings. The included 0.9mm Allen spanner will also allow you to conveniently tune the Back Focus (BF) for optimum scale compatibility when working with different cameras or camcorders.
