Laowa Nanomorph 80mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Blue) – 1.5X anamorphic squeeze for cinematic widescreen (Arri PL / Canon EF)

The Laowa Nanomorph 80mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Blue) is a compact anamorphic cine lens designed to deliver a true widescreen anamorphic look. It uses a 1.5X squeeze ratio to create the characteristic compressed backgrounds and oval bokeh associated with anamorphic optics. The lens is optimized for Super 35 sensors and comes in cine mounts for Arri PL and Canon EF systems.

Designed for cinematic telephoto and close-up work

The 80mm focal length provides a flattering telephoto perspective that suits portrait shots, narrative filmmaking, and close-up cinematography. Because it pairs a telephoto field of view with an anamorphic squeeze, you get subject separation and distinctive background compression while keeping facial proportions pleasing for storytelling.

Optical character and control

With a T2.4 aperture, the lens offers solid light transmission and control over depth of field. The 1.5X squeeze ratio produces the signature anamorphic effects: compressed backgrounds, oval bokeh and cinematic flare character. Additionally, Laowa provides blue, amber, or silver flare options across the Nanomorph series so you can choose the flare color that matches your creative intent.

Form factor and operation

The lens maintains a compact and lightweight design that makes it versatile for various shooting setups. You can use it handheld, on a gimbal, or mounted on a rig. Manual controls for focus and aperture are designed to be smooth, allowing precise adjustments during production and enabling consistent results across takes.
