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, lightweight anamorphic cine lens designed for Super35 cinema cameras. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to create a true cinematic widescreen look. In addition, the lens renders oval bokeh and elongated horizontal flares that contribute to a classic anamorphic aesthetic.

Designed for portrait-style and character-driven cinematography

The 50mm focal length gives a natural perspective with flattering compression. Therefore, this lens suits character-driven shots, portrait-style cinematography, and dramatic storytelling. Filmmakers can use it to emphasize subject separation while keeping backgrounds pleasingly compressed.

Aperture, bokeh and optical behavior

With a bright T2.4 aperture, the lens performs well in low-light situations and lets you control depth of field precisely. The 13-blade iris produces a shallow depth of field and smooth, artistic bokeh that enhances subject separation. Moreover, the precision-engineered anamorphic optics provide sharp details, minimal focus breathing, and smooth focus transitions for consistent image quality during focus pulls.

Handling, mounting and flare options

The Nanomorph’s compact design makes it suitable for handheld, gimbal, and drone setups where size and weight matter. It features standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture, allowing seamless integration with professional follow-focus systems. The lens comes in multiple flare options—blue, amber, and silver—and this Amazon-listed version produces warm amber anamorphic flares. The amber option yields rich golden streaks that add warmth and depth to footage while maintaining an organic, naturalistic look.
