Laowa Nanomorph 65mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Amber) – 1.5x Anamorphic Squeeze for Cinematic Widescreen

The Laowa Nanomorph 65mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Amber) is an anamorphic cine lens built for Super35 cameras with a Nikon Z mount. It offers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to deliver the widescreen look filmmakers expect. With a T2.4 aperture and a 65mm focal length, this lens balances low-light performance and a flattering telephoto compression that works well for portrait-style framing and close-up, character-driven shots.

Design and optical characteristics

The lens features precision-engineered anamorphic optics that provide sharp details and minimal focus breathing. It uses a 13-blade iris to create a shallow depth of field and smooth, oval bokeh. Additionally, this version of the Nanomorph produces warm amber anamorphic flares that create golden streaks and a softer, organic cinematic aesthetic.

The lens is compact and lightweight, which makes it suitable for handheld work and popular stabilization platforms. Moreover, standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture allow seamless integration with professional follow-focus systems. The lens offers manual focus and aperture control and is built with durable all-metal construction for professional-grade reliability.

Practical benefits and use cases

Use this lens when you need subject isolation, pleasing background separation, and a widescreen anamorphic look. The 65mm focal length produces a natural telephoto compression that flatters faces and emphasizes subjects in close-ups. The warm amber flare variant is especially well suited to period dramas, naturalistic lighting setups, and storytelling that benefits from a golden, organic tone.

Because of its compact form factor, you can mount the lens on gimbals, drones, and handheld rigs without compromising balance. Its manual controls and geared rings make it easy to pair with standard follow-focus systems in controlled production environments.
