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 made for Super35 cameras and fitted here with a Sony E mount. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to create a true widescreen cinematic aspect and a distinct visual character with oval bokeh and horizontally stretched flares. The 35mm focal length offers a natural, balanced perspective suitable for many cinematic applications.

Optical Character and Low-Light Performance

The lens features a bright T2.4 aperture, which helps when shooting in lower light and gives you control over depth of field. Its anamorphic design produces horizontally elongated flares and oval-shaped bokeh that enhance subject separation and create a cinematic look. This specific Silver version produces a neutral silver anamorphic flare, offering a cleaner and more modern aesthetic compared to stronger colored flares.

Precision Mechanics and Image Control

Laowa engineered the Nanomorph to prioritize image accuracy and smooth operation. The optics are precision-engineered to maintain sharp details while minimizing focus breathing and providing smooth focus transitions. The lens uses a 13-blade iris to shape the out-of-focus areas and deliver a shallow depth of field with soft, cinematic bokeh.

Build, Handling and Support for Accessories

The Nanomorph 35mm is compact and lightweight, which makes it well-suited for handheld work, gimbal setups, and drone cinematography. In addition, the lens includes standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture, so it integrates seamlessly with professional follow-focus systems. Both focus and aperture are manual, giving filmmakers full creative control. The lens also features a durable all-metal construction designed for reliable use in professional production environments.

When to Use the Nanomorph 35mm T2.4

Use this lens when you want a cinematic widescreen image with a natural perspective. It fits narrative filmmaking, commercials, music videos, and other creative cinematography where an anamorphic look — subtle or pronounced — is desired. Choose the silver flare option when you prefer a cleaner, more neutral anamorphic highlight without strong color cast.
