Laowa Nanomorph 65mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Amber) – 1.5x Anamorphic Squeeze with Warm Amber Flares

The Laowa Nanomorph 65mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Amber) is a compact anamorphic cine lens built for Super35 cinema cameras. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to achieve a widescreen cinematic image, while producing warm amber flares that create a golden, organic look. The 65mm focal length offers natural telephoto compression suited for portrait-style framing and close-ups.

Optical performance and visual character

The lens features precision-engineered anamorphic optics that maintain sharp detail and minimize focus breathing. With a bright T2.4 aperture, the lens performs well in low-light situations and gives precise control over depth of field. In addition, its 13-blade iris produces shallow depth of field and soft, oval bokeh that enhances subject separation.

Furthermore, this Amber version produces warm, golden anamorphic streaks that add richness and a softer cinematic aesthetic to footage. As a result, filmmakers can use this lens for period dramas, naturalistic lighting setups, and character-driven storytelling that relies on a gentler, warmer flare signature.

Design, mechanics and mounting

The Nanomorph 65mm is compact and lightweight, making it suitable for handheld use as well as gimbal and drone setups. Standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture enable smooth operation with professional follow-focus systems. Both focus and aperture are manual, offering full creative control to the operator.

The lens is built with durable all-metal construction, designed to meet the demands of professional production environments. Additionally, Laowa offers this lens in multiple flare styles — blue, amber, and silver — allowing filmmakers to choose the flare character that best suits their project.
