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 cameras with a Sony E mount. It provides a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to create a true widescreen cinematic look while preserving a compact form factor suited to handheld, gimbal, and drone setups.
Key optical characteristics and image style
This lens combines a 65mm focal length with a T2.4 aperture. As a result, it delivers flattering telephoto compression that works well for portraits, close-ups, and character-driven cinematography. The T2.4 aperture also supports low-light shooting and gives you precise control over depth of field.
The anamorphic design produces elongated horizontal flares and oval bokeh that enhance subject separation. This specific version produces classic blue anamorphic flares, creating high-contrast streaks reminiscent of traditional Hollywood anamorphic lenses. Those blue streaks are particularly suitable for sci‑fi, action, and stylized productions where distinct flare color can shape the visual mood.
Build, handling and mechanics
Designed with a compact and lightweight profile, the lens fits well in handheld rigs, gimbals, and drone payloads. You get standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture for straightforward integration with professional follow‑focus systems. The lens uses manual focus and manual aperture control so you maintain full creative control over your shots.
The lens features precision-engineered anamorphic optics for sharp detail, minimal focus breathing, and smooth focus transitions. It also uses a 13-blade iris to produce a shallow depth of field and soft, cinematic bokeh that helps isolate subjects on screen. The housing is made from durable all‑metal construction for professional-grade reliability in the field.
