The Nanomorph LF 1.5X Anamorphic set is a professional-grade series of lenses designed to cover Large Format and Full Frame sensors, delivering a consistent 1.5x squeeze ratio.
The Nanomorph series lenses are lightweight and can capture beautiful moments at any time. If you want to change the picture style, you can choose Laowa's new full-frame 1.5X anamorphic widescreen to experience a sense of strangeness that you have never experienced before.
The large image circle (Ø44.71mm) reduces vignetting and ensures optimal coverage for the ARRI Alexa LF 4.5K Open Gate (⌀44.71mm), maximizing resolution without cropping.
It supports full-frame sensors and multiple aspect ratios (16:9, 3:2, 4:3), allowing seamless output to 2:1, 2.25:1, 2.66:1, and 2.4:1 while preserving image quality.
With a 1.5x squeeze ratio, you will achieve a 2.66:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor after de-squeezing. Compared to a 1.33x anamorphic lens, the Laowa Nanomorph 1.5x Series delivers a much more pronounced anamorphic and cinematic look. With a 1.8x or 2x squeeze ratio, the size of the lens would also significantly larger, and much of the image is wasted when paired with a 16:9 sensor.
The 1.5x squeeze ratio delivers signature anamorphic characteristics, creating a smooth, organic waterfall focus roll-off in the background—one of the most sought-after traits in the film industry. ''Moon-shaped'' bokeh isn't for everyone. The Nanomorph LF offers a more consistent bokeh across the frame.
The minimum focusing distance of the 32mm lens is 49cm, which can easily shoot close-up shots or be used in small shooting spaces without being restricted by the location.
In an era where everyone is pursuing a cinematic feel, shooting in the golden movie widescreen ratio of 2.4:1 has unique flare, oval bokeh and distortion unique to anamorphic lenses. It can make the film more vivid and attractive visually. The additional viewing space can also show more information and details of the relevant scenes.
