Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Silver) – 1.5x Anamorphic Squeeze for Cinematic Widescreen

The Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Silver) is a compact anamorphic cine lens made for Super35 cinema cameras. It applies a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to deliver a true cinematic widescreen look with horizontally stretched flares and oval bokeh. This silver-flare version produces a neutral, modern anamorphic flare for a clean visual style.

Designed for narrative and creative cinematography

Filmmakers can use this 35mm focal length for natural, balanced framing across narrative filmmaking, commercials, music videos, and other creative projects. With a bright T2.4 aperture, the lens performs well in lower light and gives you careful control over depth of field. Its compact, lightweight design also suits handheld, gimbal, and drone setups where size and balance matter.

Optical and mechanical highlights

The lens combines precision-engineered anamorphic optics with a 13-blade iris. As a result, you get soft, cinematic bokeh and enhanced subject separation. The optics are designed for sharp detail, minimal focus breathing, and smooth focus transitions. In addition, the lens has standard 0.8 mod geared rings on focus and aperture, ensuring easy integration with professional follow-focus systems.

Visual character and flare options

Laowa offers this Nanomorph series with different flare colours. This specific model creates a neutral silver anamorphic flare. Unlike traditional anamorphic lenses that may introduce strong color casts, the silver flare keeps the image cleaner and more versatile. You still retain classic anamorphic traits such as horizontally elongated flares and oval bokeh.
