Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Silver) – Compact 1.5x anamorphic for Super35 cinematic widescreen (Canon RF)

The Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Silver) is a compact anamorphic cine lens built for Super35 cinema cameras and supplied here in a Canon RF mount. It provides a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to produce a true cinematic widescreen look while keeping a small, lightweight form factor suitable for run-and-gun setups.

Why choose this lens

First, the 50mm focal length gives a natural perspective and flattering compression for character-driven shots and portrait-style cinematography. Next, the bright T2.4 aperture helps in low-light conditions and lets you control depth of field precisely. Finally, the lens delivers classic anamorphic traits — oval bokeh and elongated horizontal flares — while remaining easy to handle on handheld rigs, gimbals, and drones.

Design and optical character

The lens uses precision-engineered anamorphic optics to keep details sharp and to reduce focus breathing during focus pulls. Its 13-blade iris produces a smooth, soft background separation and a pleasing shallow depth of field when used wide open. You will notice elongated horizontal flares and oval-shaped bokeh typical of anamorphic glass.

Unlike deeply colored anamorphic flares, this Silver version produces a neutral, modern flare. As a result, the flare reads as clean and unobtrusive, making this lens suitable for productions that need an anamorphic look without a strong color cast.

Use cases and mounting

Because of its compact footprint and lightweight construction, the lens fits well on handheld cameras and stabilised setups such as gimbals and drones. The standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture allow straightforward integration with professional follow-focus systems and remote controllers. Manual focus and aperture control give filmmakers full creative control over shots and transitions.
