Blue 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 blue. It will give the horizontal flares created by the point light sources a striking cool shade.

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 Blue 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 Blue lens for Sony E was developed specifically for video makers. The focus and aperture rings are equipped with 0.8 MOD gears, which are compatible with popular follow focus systems.
