Laowa Nanomorph 65mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Blue) - 1.5x anamorphic squeeze for cinematic widescreen on Nikon Z

The Laowa Nanomorph 65mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Blue) is a compact, lightweight anamorphic cine lens built for Super35 cinema cameras and offered here in a Nikon Z mount. It provides a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to deliver a true cinematic widescreen look, together with oval bokeh and elongated horizontal flares that create a distinct cinematic aesthetic.

Key optical characteristics and performance

With a bright T2.4 aperture, this lens performs well in low-light situations while giving precise control over depth of field. Its precision-engineered anamorphic optics produce sharp details, minimal focus breathing, and smooth focus transitions. The 13-blade iris contributes to a shallow depth of field and soft, cinematic bokeh that helps separate subjects from the background.

Distinctive blue anamorphic flares and visual style

This Blue version produces classic blue anamorphic flares, creating high-contrast streaks and a signature look often associated with traditional Hollywood anamorphic glass. As a result, the lens suits sci-fi, action, and stylized productions where striking flares and a high-contrast aesthetic enhance the visual storytelling. The oval bokeh and elongated horizontal flare characteristics further emphasize that cinematic look.

Design and handling

The lens features a compact design that makes it well suited for handheld shooting, gimbal setups, and drone cinematography. Standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture enable seamless integration with professional follow-focus systems. In addition, manual focus and aperture control give filmmakers full creative control over focus pulls and exposure adjustments during a shoot.

Use cases and creative strengths

• Portraits and close-ups: the 65mm focal length provides flattering compression and strong subject isolation, making it well suited for character-driven shots.
• Stylized productions: blue flares and high-contrast rendering fit sci-fi, action, and stylized visuals where flare character is important.
• Run-and-gun and stabilized rigs: compact, lightweight construction makes the lens practical for handheld, gimbal, and drone use.

Build and reliability

The lens uses durable all-metal construction for professional-grade reliability. Its mechanical design supports repeated professional use and integrates with industry-standard accessories thanks to the 0.8 mod gearing.
