Laowa Nanomorph 80mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Blue) – 1.5X anamorphic for Super 35 on Nikon Z

The Laowa Nanomorph 80mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Blue) is a compact, lightweight anamorphic cine lens built for cinematic imagery on Nikon Z cameras. It uses a 1.5X squeeze ratio to create classic anamorphic compression, oval bokeh, and signature flares while keeping image sharpness and clarity. The lens matches the Nanomorph series design and is available here in the Blue flare option.

The 80mm focal length gives a flattering telephoto perspective that suits portraits, narrative filmmaking, and close-up cinematography.
