Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Silver) – 1.5x Anamorphic Squeeze for Cinematic Widescreen

The Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Silver) is a compact anamorphic cine lens designed for Super35 cameras with Nikon Z mount. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze that produces a widescreen cinematic look with horizontally stretched highlights, oval bokeh and distinctive anamorphic flare character. This silver-flare version gives a neutral, modern flare that stays clean and versatile across different productions.

Performance and optical character

With a bright T2.4 aperture, the lens performs well in low light and gives precise control over depth of field. The 35mm focal length provides a natural perspective suitable for narrative filmmaking, commercials, music videos and creative cinematography. In addition, the lens’ precision-engineered anamorphic optics keep details sharp, minimize focus breathing and enable smooth focus transitions during shots.

Creative control and handling

The lens features a 13-blade iris that produces soft, cinematic bokeh and helps separate subjects from the background. You get manual focus and aperture control for full creative input over looks and exposure. Also, the standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture allow seamless integration with professional follow-focus systems for repeatable pulls and controlled aperture moves.

Design and mounting

Laowa built this lens with a compact, lightweight form factor that suits handheld work, gimbal stabilizers and drone cinematography. Moreover, the durable all-metal construction provides professional-grade reliability for rigors of production. Finally, the lens is available in blue, amber and silver flare options; this Nikon Z mount variant produces a neutral silver flare for a modern, clean anamorphic effect.
