Laowa Nanomorph 60mm T2.9 1.5X Anamorphic S35 Macro 1:2 (Blue) PL + EF

Laowa Nanomorph 60 mm T2.9 delivers the rare combination of 1.5× anamorphic squeeze and 0.5× macro reproduction in a body only 144 mm long and 1.07 kg light. Covering the Super 35 (25.6 × 16 mm) image circle, it renders pronounced horizontal compression while permitting frame-filling close-ups at 24 cm without diopters. The Blue flare coating produces the familiar streaks cinematographers associate with big-budget scope optics.

Inside the all-metal housing sits a 20-element, 14-group optical block tuned for minimal distortion and high edge illumination. A 13-blade iris opens to T2.9 for low-key scenes and stops down to T22 for precise highlight control, while the 35.5 ° horizontal field gives natural perspective for portraits, product hero shots, or table-top inserts. The anamorphic cylinder preserves oval bokeh and elongates specular highlights, adding depth without artificial post-processing.

Cine ergonomics are uncompromised: unified 0.8 MOD focus and iris gears, a long 270 ° focus travel, and dual metric/imperial scales enable repeatable pulls with any follow-focus. The PL and EF mounts ship in the box; swap-and-shim workflow takes minutes, allowing rapid moves between Alexa 35, URSA 12K, C500 Mk II or RED KOMODO-X. Front diameter Ø80 mm mates with standard matte boxes, and the Ø77 mm filter thread supports ±1 stop ND stacks when space is tight.

Constant squeeze means framing remains consistent throughout the focus range, reducing post-stretch artefacts. Focus breathing is virtually invisible, making the lens suitable for dramatic rack-macro moves. Pair it with Laowa’s 1.4× expander to cover Full Frame at 84 mm (T4) while keeping the anamorphic character intact. For crews seeking a single optic that travels from establishing shot to extreme detail without lens changes, Nanomorph 60 mm becomes a precision tool that protects schedule, budget, and creative intent.
