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

The Laowa Nanomorph 65mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Silver) is a compact anamorphic cine lens designed for Super35 cinema cameras and L-mount systems. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to create a true cinematic widescreen image while rendering oval bokeh and elongated horizontal flares. With a 65mm focal length, the lens produces a flattering telephoto compression ideal for portrait and close-up work, and its silver flare option gives a clean, modern anamorphic look.

Optical performance and image character

The lens uses precision-engineered anamorphic optics to maintain sharp details and control focus breathing. Its optical design emphasizes a cinematic aesthetic through several specific characteristics:

• 1.5x anamorphic squeeze: Produces a widescreen aspect and classic anamorphic rendering when de-squeezed in post.
• 65mm focal length: Provides natural telephoto compression that flatters subjects and supports portrait-style framing and character-driven shots.
• T2.4 aperture: Offers a bright working aperture for controlled depth of field and improved low-light performance.
• 13-blade iris: Delivers a shallow depth of field and smooth, artistic bokeh that helps isolate subjects.
• Oval bokeh and horizontal flares: Creates the distinctive anamorphic look, with elongated highlights and cinematic separation between subject and background.
• Neutral silver anamorphic flares: This version produces clean, modern flares without a strong color cast, giving a versatile aesthetic for varied productions.

The Nanomorph 65mm balances a compact, lightweight form with professional controls. Filmmakers can integrate the lens into a range of rigs and workflows:

• Compact and lightweight design: Suitable for handheld shooting, gimbal stabilizers, and drone use where size and weight matter.

• Manual focus and aperture control: Allows full creative control over focus pulls and exposure adjustments during production.
