Laowa Nanomorph 65mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Silver) - Nikon Z

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 an anamorphic cine lens designed for Super35 cinema cameras with a Nikon Z mount. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to produce a true cinematic widescreen look. The lens combines a 65mm focal length with a bright T2.4 aperture and specialized anamorphic optics to support portrait-style framing, close-ups, and character-driven cinematography.

Optical characteristics and image style

The lens uses precision-engineered anamorphic optics to render sharp details while minimizing focus breathing. In addition, it produces oval bokeh and elongated horizontal flares typical of anamorphic glass. This particular version features a neutral silver anamorphic flare, which gives a clean and modern look without a strong color cast.

With a 13-blade iris, the lens produces a shallow depth of field and smooth, cinematic bokeh that helps separate subjects from the background. The bright T2.4 aperture offers good low-light performance and allows you to control depth of field precisely.

Design, handling and mechanics

The Nanomorph 65mm T2.4 is compact and lightweight, which makes it suitable for a range of rigs. For example, you can use it handheld, on gimbals, or on drones where size and weight matter. It also features standard 0.8 mod geared rings on focus and aperture, allowing straightforward integration with professional follow-focus systems.

The lens provides manual focus and aperture control for full creative control during shoots. It is built with durable all-metal construction to meet the physical demands of professional production environments.

Use cases and creative options

The 65mm focal length delivers a natural telephoto compression that flatters subjects and works well for close-up shots where subject isolation and depth matter. Filmmakers can choose between flare options — blue, amber, and silver — to tailor the visual style of a production. This silver version creates neutral, modern flares suitable for productions seeking a subtle anamorphic aesthetic.
