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, lightweight anamorphic cine lens made for Super35 cameras. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to create a true widescreen cinematic look while keeping a small form factor suitable for run-and-gun setups.

Why choose this 65mm anamorphic lens?

This lens pairs a classic anamorphic aesthetic with practical features for filmmakers. The 65mm focal length provides flattering telephoto compression, making it especially useful for portrait-style framing, close-ups, and character-driven cinematography. At T2.4 the aperture stays bright enough for low-light situations and gives you precise control over depth of field.

Optical and mechanical highlights

The Nanomorph 65mm uses precision-engineered anamorphic optics to preserve sharp detail and to reduce focus breathing. It produces characteristic oval bokeh and elongated horizontal flares typical of anamorphic glass. This specific silver-flare version offers a neutral, modern-looking anamorphic flare rather than a strong color cast, which makes it adaptable to many production styles.
