Laowa has introduced a 60mm 1:2 Macro Anamorphic lens for S35 sensors, the Nanomorph 60mm T2.9 1.5X S35 Macro 1:2. This innovative lens offers a close focus distance of up to 24cm/9.45” and produces a 0.5x magnified image, surpassing previous technological constraints of other lenses in the market of similar focal lengths. Combined with the T2.9 large aperture, the Nanomorph 60mm allows for an organic oval bokeh and extremely shallow depth of field, resulting in images that are normally unachievable without the use of diopters. This combination of macro magnification and the signature cinematic anamorphic look allows capture of subjects that are physically close to the lens, while still maintaining the wide, cinematic look that anamorphic lenses are known for.

The Nanomorph 60mm Macro lens can be paired with the Laowa 1.4x Full-Frame Expander to convert it into an 84mm T4 Full Frame 1:2 Macro Anamorphic Lens. This combination allows filmmakers to maintain the same close focusing distance for capturing macro anamorphic shots on full-frame cameras. Other features include Dual Scale Design for both imperial and metric measurements, unified Gear Position, and a compact body helpful for mobile and rigged set ups.  Mount Options include Arri PL, Sony E, Canon RF+EF, Nikon Z, L mount, and DJI DL. The lens also features a convenient back-focus adjustment mechanism, ensuring easy calibration in the field.

The Laowa Nanomorph 60mm T2.9 1.5X S35 Macro 1:2 is available in three different cinematic flare color options: Amber, Blue, and Silver, and is priced at US$1,999. For more details visit: https://laowacine.com/product/nanomorph-1-5x-anamorphic-60mm-t2-9-0-5x-macro
