Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Amber) – Sony E mount with 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 and supplied here in a Sony E mount. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze that creates a true widescreen cinematic look while preserving a natural 50mm perspective. Filmmakers will appreciate its balance of handheld-friendly size and anamorphic character for portrait-style shots and character-driven storytelling.

Designed for Super35 and versatile shooting

This lens targets Super35 cinema cameras and offers a 50mm focal length that provides flattering compression for faces and scenes. Therefore, it suits portrait-style cinematography, intimate character shots, and dramatic compositions. Additionally, the compact and lightweight design makes it suitable for handheld operation, gimbal setups, and drone cinematography where size and balance matter.

Aperture, iris and optical performance

The Nanomorph has a bright T2.4 aperture that performs well in low-light conditions and allows precise control over depth of field. Moreover, a 13-blade iris produces a shallow depth of field and soft, cinematic bokeh that enhances subject separation. The lens uses precision-engineered anamorphic optics to ensure sharp details, minimal focus breathing, and smooth focus transitions for reliable image quality during pull-focus moves.

Distinctive amber flares and aesthetic options

This Amber version produces warm amber anamorphic flares, rendering rich golden streaks that add warmth and depth to footage. In addition to amber, the Nanomorph line is available with blue and silver flare options, letting filmmakers choose the flare color that best matches their visual style. The lens also creates characteristic oval bokeh and elongated horizontal flares typical of anamorphic glass.

Professional handling and integration

The lens features standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture, ensuring seamless integration with professional follow-focus systems. It offers manual focus and aperture control, giving cinematographers full creative control over focus pulls and exposure. Furthermore, the lens uses durable all-metal construction for professional-grade reliability across productions.
