Laowa Nanomorph 80mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Blue) — 1.5X Anamorphic Squeeze for Super 35 on Canon RF

The Laowa Nanomorph 80mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Blue) for Canon RF is an anamorphic cine lens built to deliver a true widescreen anamorphic look. It uses a 1.5X squeeze ratio to create compressed backgrounds and the characteristic oval bokeh associated with anamorphic optics. At the same time, the lens is optimised for Super 35 sensors and retains clarity across the frame.

Key cinematic characteristics

• 1.5X squeeze ratio — Produces authentic anamorphic visuals with horizontal compression that enhances perceived depth and cinematic scope.
• 80mm focal length — Offers a flattering telephoto perspective suited to portrait shots, narrative filmmaking, and close-up cinematography.
• T2.4 aperture — Provides consistent light transmission and useful control over depth of field for cinematic separation.
• Flare options: blue, amber, or silver — Matches the Nanomorph series design so you can choose the colored flare characteristic that fits your creative style; this particular listing is the Blue variant.
• Super 35 sensor coverage — The optical design is optimised for Super 35 formats, aiming to deliver sharp image quality with minimal distortion across the intended sensor size.
• Compact and lightweight — The lens has a small form factor that makes it versatile for handheld work, gimbal use, and mounted rig setups without adding unnecessary bulk.
• Smooth manual focus and aperture control — Designed for precise, tactile operation during productions that require deliberate focus pulls and aperture adjustments.

Designed for filmmakers and portrait work

Use the 80mm telephoto perspective to achieve flattering portraits and tightly framed narrative shots. The 1.5X squeeze combined with the lens’ optics produces compressed backgrounds and oval-shaped bokeh that many filmmakers seek for an anamorphic aesthetic. Because the lens is optimised for Super 35 sensors, it integrates well into standard cine workflows that use that sensor size.

Handling and mounting

The lens’ compact, lightweight design makes it suitable for a variety of production styles. You can employ it handheld for more intimate, mobile shots; mount it on a gimbal for stabilized camera moves; or use it as part of a rig for controlled, repeatable setups. Manual focus and aperture rings provide smooth, precise control during takes.
