Laowa Nanomorph 85mm T2.9 1.5X LF (Amber) PL/EF (Lao-85-LF-PL-A)

Laowa Nanomorph 85mm T2.9 1.5X LF (Amber) PL/EF | Wide anamorphic framing for cinema

On a narrative set, a close-up can call for a wide cinematic frame without losing the composed feel of a longer lens. The Laowa Nanomorph 85mm T2.9 1.5X LF (Amber) is an interchangeable cinema prime for video and filmmaking, suited to operators who want manual control over focus and a distinctive 1.5X anamorphic image. Its 85mm focal length makes it a short telephoto, useful for dialogue coverage and carefully framed details. This version is listed with a Canon EF mount and a large-format sensor format, so it belongs in a setup built around that coverage. It’s a focused tool rather than an all-purpose lens: it makes most sense for planned scenes where you can set your framing and work deliberately with focus.

Understanding the 1.5X and Amber version

The 1.5X designation points to an anamorphic squeeze: it lets you retain an 85mm perspective while recording a wider horizontal view than a conventional spherical lens at the same focal length. Plan to view or process the image with the appropriate de-squeeze. Amber identifies this particular version, useful when you’re choosing a consistent look for a production rather than treating every lens option as interchangeable.
