Laowa Nanomorph S35 Prime 2-Lens Bundle  (65mm,80mm) (Blue) - (Cine) L Mount

The Laowa Nanomorph 65mm and 80mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Lenses represent the telephoto focal lengths within Venus Optics' revolutionary, ultra-compact anamorphic series. Optimized for Super 35 sensors, both lenses deliver a constant 1.5x squeeze ratio, expanding standard 16:9 sensor footage into a panoramic 2.66:1 cinematic aspect ratio.

While both primes are engineered to isolate subjects, compress backgrounds, and cast signature horizontal blue flares, they feature subtle physical differences tailored to distinct framing needs.

Product Features in Detail

Striking Sci-Fi & Vintage Blue Flares
Both lenses are engineered with specialized optical coatings that generate signature horizontal blue streaks when exposed to direct light sources like car headlights, streetlights, or studio practicals. This distinct rendering delivers a classic, high-contrast anamorphic look reminiscent of iconic science-fiction and action cinema, adding instant production value to your footage.

Flattering Telephoto Subject Isolation
The medium-telephoto 65mm and tight 80mm focal lengths provide powerful perspective compression. On Super 35 sensors, these lengths naturally smooth out and flatten facial features for highly flattering portraiture, while visually pulling the background closer to your subject to make them pop dramatically from the surroundings.

Unified Cine Rigging & Fast Swaps
Venus Optics designed the Nanomorph series with seamless on-set workflow in mind. Both the 65mm and 80mm models feature unified gear positions for their focus and aperture rings. This means when you switch between these two lenses, your follow-focus motors, wireless FIZ systems, and lens supports stay perfectly aligned without needing tedious repositioning.

Immersive 1.5x Anamorphic Character
Unlike 1.33x lenses that offer only mild widescreen properties, the constant 1.5x squeeze ratio delivers unmistakable anamorphic geometry. After de-squeezing your footage to a cinematic 2.66:1 aspect ratio on standard 16:9 sensors, you are rewarded with vertically elongated oval bokeh, a shallower perceived depth of field, and a classic organic texture.

Run-and-Gun Filter Integration
Ditching the need for heavy, cumbersome matte boxes, both lenses host a built-in 62mm front filter thread. This small-diameter design allows cinematographers to screw variable NDs, circular polarizers, or diffusion filters directly onto the lens element—keeping the entire camera payload lightweight, aerodynamic, and perfectly balanced for drone or gimbal configurations.

Future-Proof 2x Squeeze Adaptability
Investing in these primes opens up multiple theatrical aspect options. Both lenses are fully compatible with Laowa’s separately available 1.33x front-mounted anamorphic adapter. When mounted to the front element of either the 65mm or 80mm, it multiplies the native optics to achieve a full, traditional 2x squeeze ratio for ultimate widescreen storytelling.
