The Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Amber) is an anamorphic cine lens built for Super35 cinema cameras with an MFT mount. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to create a true cinematic widescreen look. Filmmakers will appreciate its compact, lightweight design and amber flare option that adds warm, golden streaks to footage.
This 50mm focal length gives a natural perspective with flattering compression, making the lens well suited for character-driven shots and portrait-style cinematography. With a bright T2.4 aperture, the lens performs reliably in low-light situations while letting you control depth of field precisely. Overall, it targets dramatic storytelling where subject separation and cinematic feel matter.
The lens uses precision-engineered anamorphic optics to deliver sharp details with minimal focus breathing and smooth focus transitions. Its 13-blade iris produces a shallow depth of field and soft, cinematic bokeh that enhances subject separation. The 1.5x squeeze creates elongated horizontal flares and oval bokeh, while the amber flare version provides a warm, organic lighting aesthetic.
Laowa designed this lens to be compact and lightweight so you can use it on handheld rigs, gimbals, and drones. It features standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture, which ensures seamless integration with professional follow-focus systems. The lens uses manual focus and aperture control and arrives in durable all-metal construction for professional-grade reliability.
This Nanomorph is available in flare options including blue, amber, and silver, allowing filmmakers to choose the flare color that best suits their production. The amber version included here produces rich golden streaks, adding warmth and depth while maintaining a classic anamorphic aesthetic.
