Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Blue) — 1.5x anamorphic squeeze for cinematic widescreen

The Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Blue) is a compact anamorphic cine lens built for Super35 cinema cameras with an L mount. It delivers a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to create true cinematic widescreen images while keeping a natural perspective suitable for character-driven and portrait-style shots.

Optical performance and look

With a bright T2.4 aperture, this lens performs well in lower light and lets you control depth of field precisely. The 13-blade iris produces soft, artistic bokeh and helps separate subjects from their backgrounds. In addition, the lens renders classic oval bokeh and elongated horizontal flares typical of anamorphic optics.

This Blue flare version produces a distinctive blue anamorphic streak. Consequently, it gives footage a high-contrast, cinematic aesthetic that works well for action, thriller, and stylized productions that benefit from a sci-fi or classic Hollywood look.

Design and mechanical features

The Nanomorph 50mm is compact and lightweight, which makes it adaptable for handheld work, gimbal rigs, and drone setups. Moreover, it uses standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture, so you can integrate it seamlessly with professional follow-focus systems. The lens offers manual focus and aperture control for full creative operation, and its all-metal construction provides professional-grade durability.

Its precision-engineered anamorphic optics are designed to deliver sharp details with minimal focus breathing and smooth focus transitions, supporting cinematic storytelling where focus pulls and consistent image behavior matter.
