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

The Laowa Nanomorph 65mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Blue) is a compact anamorphic cine lens built for Super35 cinema cameras. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to produce true cinematic widescreen images while preserving sharp detail and pleasing out-of-focus rendering. The 65mm focal length provides a natural telephoto compression that works well for portrait-style framing, close-ups, and character-driven cinematography.

Optical characteristics and image style

This lens features a bright T2.4 aperture that supports low-light shooting and gives precise control over depth of field. It uses precision-engineered anamorphic optics to minimise focus breathing and to provide smooth focus transitions. The optical design also yields oval bokeh and elongated horizontal flares, which contribute to a recognisable cinematic look.

The Blue version produces classic blue anamorphic flares. These high-contrast blue streaks emulate the aesthetic of traditional Hollywood anamorphic lenses and suit sci-fi, action, and stylized productions where a striking, high-contrast flare is desirable.

Control, build and handling

The lens has a 13-blade iris that creates a shallow depth of field and smooth, artistic bokeh for subject separation. It offers manual focus and manual aperture control so filmmakers retain full creative control during shoots. Standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture ensure seamless integration with professional follow-focus systems. The lens uses a durable all-metal construction designed for professional use and repeated handling.

Its compact and lightweight design makes the lens suitable for handheld operation, gimbal-mounted work, and drone cinematography where size and weight matter. At the same time, the optical performance supports precision work for character close-ups and controlled portrait shots.
