This Laowa Nanomorph 27mm T2.8 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lens from Venus Optics is a slender, compact anamorphic lens that captures high-definition video with 1.5x anamorphic squeeze on cameras with S35 sensors. It features a focal length of 27mm, a Canon RF lens mount, an aperture range of T2.8 to T22 for a deep depth of field, and 13 iris blades for a shallow depth of field and soft bokeh.

The prime lens has a very short minimum focus distance of 16.9″ and offers anamorphic qualities such as high contrast, blue color lens flares, and a 70.8 horizontal field of view. Other features include measurement markings in feet and meters, 0.8 MOD cine gears on focus and aperture rings, and a 55mm front filter thread. The Canon RF lens mount is interchangeable and can be swapped out for an optional mount.

Constant 1.5x Squeeze Ratio A 1.5x squeeze ratio is a perfect balance between the size and anamorphic intensity. With a 1.5x squeeze ratio, you will have a 2.66:1 on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeeze. There is also room for you to crop into a 2.4:1 widescreen ratio. Artistic Oval Bokeh A 1.5x squeeze ratio also renders oval bokeh that gives an artistic touch to the image. It also creates a blurry and creamy background that pops out the subject. Blue Anamorphic Flare Color The traditional blue flare is common in the market, and it is suitable for sci-fi and cool vibe movies. Short Focus Distance The 16.9″ close focus distance is short so users can create closer shots. It renders a shallower depth of field, so the sense of compression will be stronger and the bokeh will be more oval-shaped. Unified Gear Position The unified gear position allows users to switch lenses quickly and without readjustment on the focus gear. 55mm Filter Thread A 55mm filter can be attached directly to the lens for a variety of handy setups. The small diameter is favorable when doing run-and-gun shots or utilizing it with an aerial drone. Dual Scales Both imperial and metric scales are printed on the lens body. 0.8 MOD Gears Industry-standard 0.8 MOD gears are installed on both the aperture and focus rings. Flange Back Adjustment The lens allows users to adjust the back focus easily.
