Laowa Nanomorph 80mm T2.4 1.5X S35 Lens - Fuji X

Laowa Nanomorph 80mm T2.4 1.5X S35 Lens - Fuji X

Designed with versatility in mind, these compact and reliable telephoto focal lengths bring a new level of creative possibilities to both existing Nanomorph users and newcomers alike. With a constant 1.5X squeeze ratio & 3 different flare color options, these lenses are an absolute must-have for capturing stunning anamorphic imagery.

The Nanomorph series is known for its tiny size. The new 80mm are also designed with the same concept. Make it possible for all types of setup and shooting styles. Including handheld, gimbal, car-rig, and more!

Constant 1.5X Squeeze with NO Anamorphic Mumps                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

To avoid squeeze ratio varies across different focus distances (Anamorphic Mumps), Laowa developed a one-of-a-kind patented anamorphic design, to guarantee mumps-free characteristics with excellent optical performance. The design also keeps the lens extremely compact. Cinematographers can now focus on the shooting without worry of hideous mumps-correction in post-production.

Super 35+ coverage                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

The Nanomorph series is designed for use with Super35(APS-C) and Micro Four Thirds cameras. Its Super35 design ensures optimal performance across these formats. The 65mm and 80mm can cover 4k resolution 16:9 UHD on cameras such as the Sony FX3, A7S3, and FX6, with only slight vignetting due to their larger image circle.

Anamorphic Widescreen                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Anamorphic lenses offer a cinematic widescreen perspective. The Nanomorph chose the 1.5X squeeze ratio to achieve the perfect balance between the lens size, the desired anamorphic look, and the use of the sensor image. De-squeezing the footage shot with this lens produces a 2.66:1 ratio on a 16:9 sensor. Compared to other ratios, the Nanomorph provides a much more pronounced anamorphic look to 1.33X. And waste less image when compared to higher compression ratios.

Short closest focusing distance of 70cm                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Due to optical design constraints, anamorphic lenses typically exhibit a longer closest focusing distance. However, the Nanomorph lens distinguishes itself by boasting one of the shortest close-focusing distances on the market, signifying a higher degree of flexibility in framing for filmmakers. In particular, the 65mm and 80mm focal lengths have a 2.3 ft(70cm) close focusing distance, which enables filmmakers to capture close-up shots with a shallower depth of field, thereby accentuating the organic and oval bokeh effect.

Cinematic Oval Bokeh                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

The oval bokeh effect produced by anamorphic lenses is a highly sought-after feature in the world of cinema. The Nanomorph lens is particularly noteworthy for its organic and smooth oval bokeh effect, which is further enhanced by its high squeeze ratio of 1.5X than the 1.33X. The 65mm and 80mm versions of the Nanomorph lens can produce an even more flattering bokeh effect, with a focus roll-off that creates a cinematic look that filmmakers have long desired.

The beauty of a longer focal length

The longer 65 and 80mm focal length enhances the versatility of the entire Nanomorph series. Providing cinematographers with the ability to capture captivating close-up shots with shallow depth of field and stunning bokeh effects. Also, it can get the compression from a long focal length lens but at the same time obtain more of the surroundings.
