The Laowa Nanomorph 80mm T2.4 1.5X S35 is a compact, lightweight anamorphic cine lens designed to deliver a true widescreen look. It uses a 1.5X squeeze ratio to create the characteristic anamorphic compression, producing oval bokeh and distinctive flares while keeping image sharpness and clarity. The 80mm focal length gives a flattering telephoto perspective, making the lens well suited for portrait work, narrative filmmaking, and close-up cinematography.
This 80mm maintains the Nanomorph series design language and offers selectable flare styles to match creative intent. It is optimized for Super 35 sensor coverage and built with a compact form factor that supports a variety of shooting rigs. As a result, you can use it handheld, on a gimbal, or mounted in a rig without compromising mobility. The lens provides smooth manual focus and aperture control to support precise adjustments during production.
With a 1.5X squeeze ratio, the lens delivers true anamorphic visuals: compressed backgrounds, oval bokeh, and the signature anamorphic aesthetic. Additionally, Laowa offers three flare color options — blue, amber, or silver — so you can select the flare style that best fits your scene. The T2.4 aperture provides solid light transmission and helps you control depth of field for cinematic separation between subject and background.
