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

Compact anamorphic for Super35 cinema cameras

The Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Blue) is a compact, lightweight anamorphic cine lens built for Super35 cinema cameras and supplied here in Canon RF mount. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to produce a true cinematic widescreen look. The 50mm focal length gives a natural perspective with flattering compression, which suits character-driven shots, portrait-style cinematography, and dramatic storytelling.

Optical performance and flare character

With a bright T2.4 aperture, this lens performs well in low light and lets you control depth of field precisely. The precision-engineered anamorphic optics keep details sharp while minimizing focus breathing and enabling smooth focus transitions. The lens produces elongated horizontal flares and beautiful oval bokeh that enhance subject separation.

This specific Blue version creates a classic blue anamorphic flare. As a result, the lens yields striking blue streaks and a high-contrast aesthetic that works well for sci‑fi, action, thriller, and stylized productions.

Aperture, iris and bokeh

The lens uses a 13-blade iris to produce a shallow depth of field and smooth, artistic bokeh. That 13-blade design helps render rounder highlights and soft background separation while you isolate subjects at wider apertures.

Mechanical design and professional control

The Nanomorph’s compact design makes it well suited to handheld work, gimbal rigs, and drone setups. In addition, the lens features standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture to integrate seamlessly with professional follow-focus systems. It offers manual focus and aperture control for full creative control, and it is built with durable all-metal construction for reliable, professional use.
