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

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 a compact anamorphic cine lens made for Super35 cinema cameras with an L mount. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to create a true widescreen cinematic image while maintaining a natural 50mm perspective that suits character-driven and portrait-style shots.

Optical characteristics and image look

The lens features a bright T2.4 aperture that performs well in low light and gives you precise depth-of-field control. Its precision-engineered anamorphic optics render sharp details and produce characteristic oval bokeh. The 13-blade iris contributes to a shallow depth of field and smooth, artistic bokeh that helps separate subjects from their backgrounds.

This specific version produces a neutral silver anamorphic flare. Unlike stronger colored flare options, the silver flare gives a clean and modern aesthetic. As a result, you get subtle, unobtrusive flares that work well when you need a versatile look without strong color casts. Laowa also offers blue and amber flare options for different visual styles.

Handling and integration

The Nanomorph 50mm is compact and lightweight, which makes it suitable for handheld shooting, gimbal rigs, and drone setups. In addition, both focus and aperture use standard 0.8 mod geared rings so you can integrate the lens smoothly with professional follow-focus systems. The lens offers manual focus and aperture control for full creative operation, and its all-metal construction provides professional-grade durability.
