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 a compact anamorphic cine lens made for Super35 cinema cameras and available in a Sony E mount. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze that creates a true cinematic widescreen look, while the 65mm focal length offers flattering telephoto compression well suited to portraits, close-ups, and character-driven cinematography.

Optical performance and aperture

The lens features a bright T2.4 aperture, which supports low-light shooting and precise depth-of-field control. In addition, the precision-engineered anamorphic optics preserve sharp detail and keep focus breathing to a minimum. The optical design produces characteristic oval bokeh and elongated horizontal flares that contribute to a cinematic image.

Iris, bokeh and flare options

This Nanomorph uses a 13-blade iris to render a shallow depth of field and smooth, artistic bokeh that helps separate subjects from the background. Filmmakers can choose different flare personalities; this specific silver version produces neutral silver anamorphic flares for a clean, modern look. Alternatives include blue and amber flare options for those who want a different visual character.

Mechanics and usability

The lens comes with standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture, allowing seamless integration with professional follow-focus systems. It provides manual focus and manual aperture control for full creative control during production. The durable all-metal construction ensures professional-grade reliability across demanding shoots.

Form factor and mounting

Its compact and lightweight design makes the Nanomorph 65mm ideal for handheld, gimbal, and drone setups. Consequently, you can use it in tight spaces or in run-and-gun scenarios without sacrificing the anamorphic aesthetic. The lens is designed to fit Super35 sensors and is available in the Sony E mount for compatible camera bodies.
