Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Amber) – 1.5x Anamorphic Squeeze for Cinematic Widescreen

The Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Amber) is a compact anamorphic cine lens designed for Super35 cinema cameras. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to create a true cinematic widescreen look. This Amber version produces warm, golden anamorphic flares while preserving classic anamorphic characteristics such as elongated horizontal streaks and oval bokeh.

Optical characteristics and aperture

The lens has a bright T2.4 aperture that performs well in lower light and gives you precise depth-of-field control. Its precision-engineered anamorphic optics render sharp detail and keep focus transitions smooth. The design also aims for minimal focus breathing, helping maintain consistent framing during focus pulls.

Bokeh, iris and flare options

This lens features a 13-blade iris that produces a shallow depth of field and soft, cinematic bokeh. The anamorphic design creates characteristic oval bokeh and enhanced subject separation. The Nanomorph series is available with blue, amber, and silver flare options; this specific model produces warm amber anamorphic flares that add rich golden streaks and a naturalistic warmth to footage.

Build, controls and mounting

The compact and lightweight construction makes the lens well suited for handheld, gimbal, and drone setups. It uses standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture, enabling seamless integration with professional follow-focus systems. The lens offers manual focus and manual aperture control for full creative control during shooting. It comes in Arri PL and Canon EF mount options as indicated in the product title.
