The Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Amber) is a compact anamorphic cine lens built for Super35 cinema cameras and supplied here in a Canon RF mount. It offers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to deliver a true cinematic widescreen look, combined with a warm amber flare character. Filmmakers gain manual control, precision optics and a visual aesthetic that emphasizes horizontal flare streaks and oval bokeh.

Designed for Super35 cinematography and creative uses

This 35mm focal length provides a natural perspective that suits narrative filmmaking, commercials, music videos and other creative cinematography. Because the lens is engineered for Super35 sensors, it matches common cinema camera formats and integrates into typical production workflows. The Canon RF mount option allows direct mounting on compatible RF bodies without adapters.

Optical characteristics and image rendering

The lens delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze, producing the widescreen proportions associated with anamorphic capture. With a bright T2.4 aperture, it performs well in low-light conditions and lets you control depth of field precisely. The 13-blade iris contributes to a shallow depth of field and soft, cinematic bokeh, while the anamorphic design creates horizontally elongated flares and beautiful oval bokeh that enhance subject separation.

Laowa’s precision-engineered anamorphic optics aim for sharp detail, minimal focus breathing and smooth focus transitions, giving you predictable behavior when pulling focus or changing composition during a shot.

Handling, controls and build

The Nanomorph 35mm is compact and lightweight, which makes it well suited for handheld operation, gimbal rigs and drone cinematography where size and balance matter. It features standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture, ensuring compatibility with professional follow-focus systems and efficient control during production. Manual focus and aperture control provide direct, tactile operation for precise creative choices. The lens uses durable all-metal construction for professional-grade reliability on set.

Amber flare version — warm, organic streaks

This Amber version produces warm amber anamorphic flares. These flares create golden, sunlit streaks that add a warm and organic cinematic feel to footage. Choose this flare option when you want a golden highlight character that complements warm lighting scenarios or sunlit exteriors.
