Revolutionary Anamorphic Design

The Nanomorph lens allows videographers to create truly cinematic visuals without any compromises. Anamorphic lenses in general create widescreen images from standard recording mediums and keeps a 2.4:1 aspect ratio from 16:9 sensors commonly found in modern cameras, but the Nanomorph takes a revolutionary step further.

Laowa’s new patented anamorphic design rearranges essential lens elements to create a compact and cheap lens that doesn’t diminish its high optical quality. Thanks to the craftsmanship of the design, a uniform squeeze ratio is guaranteed at any focus point and aberration is reduced to a minimum.

Lightweight and Compact

Laowa’s latest innovation has led to the creation of the smallest anamorphic lenses on the market. Compared to traditional anamorphic lenses, this nano and compact lens can fit in the palm of your hand. It makes the Nanomorph versatile enough for any set-up and can be used with gimbals, tripods, sliders, and camera jibs. It can be used for handheld shots and can even be used with drones for truly cinematic shots.

Constant 1.5x Squeeze Ratio

A front anamorphic design means the Nanomorph has a 1.5x constant squeeze ratio at all focusing points. Compared to other brands, it avoids anamorphic mumps and saves time in post-production fixing the image. The 1.5x squeeze also renders higher quality bokeh that are more oval-shaped and creates blurry backgrounds to make the subject stand out. This squeeze ratio also allows a 2.66:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeezing.
