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 DJI DL 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 DJI DL lens mount is interchangeable and can be swapped out for an optional mount.

Compact Anamorphic Lens for S35 Sensors    T2.8 to T16 Aperture Range    1.5x Anamorphic Squeeze Ratio    Blue Color Anamorphic Lens Flare    58mm Front Diameter, 55mm Filter Thread    Short 16.9" Minimum Focus Distance    Interchangeable DJI DL Mount    0.8 MOD Gears, Metric/Imperial Markings    13-Blade Iris, 70.8° Field of View

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.
