Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Silver) - Fuji X

Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Silver) – 1.5x anamorphic squeeze for cinematic widescreen

The Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Silver) is an anamorphic cine lens made for Super35 cinema cameras and Fuji X mount systems. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to create a true cinematic widescreen look while preserving a natural 50mm perspective. The lens balances compact size with professional features for filmmakers who need an anamorphic image without excessive bulk.

Design and optical characteristics

The lens uses precision-engineered anamorphic optics to render sharp details and limit focus breathing. With a bright T2.4 aperture, the lens performs well in low light and gives you precise control over depth of field. Its 13-blade iris produces shallow depth of field and a smooth, cinematic bokeh that helps separate subjects from the background.

In addition to oval bokeh and elongated horizontal flares, this specific silver version produces a neutral silver anamorphic flare. That flare option offers a clean and modern aesthetic, reducing strong color casts while maintaining a subtle anamorphic effect. Laowa also offers blue and amber flare options for different visual styles, giving filmmakers choices depending on the production’s look.

Mount, handling and professional integration

The lens features standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture for seamless integration with professional follow-focus systems. Because it is compact and lightweight, the lens suits handheld work, gimbal stabilization, and drone setups where size and balance matter. Manual focus and aperture control provide full creative control during shoots, while durable all-metal construction ensures professional-grade reliability on set.
