Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 1.5X Anamorphic Lens

The Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 1.5X Anamorphic from Venus Optics is a compact prime lens built for cinema and video shooters working with Super 35 sensor cameras. Mounted in the industry-standard PL Mount, it slots naturally into professional cinema rigs and camera systems where that mount is the norm. At a maximum aperture of T2.4, it offers a reasonably fast stop for an anamorphic prime, giving cinematographers solid low-light capability without sacrificing the compact form factor that defines the Nanomorph line.

Weighing just 360g, this lens is notably lightweight for an anamorphic cinema prime, making it a practical choice for gimbal work, handheld rigs, or any setup where minimizing payload matters. The 35mm focal length sits in the standard range, making it a versatile workhorse focal length for narrative, documentary, and commercial productions. The lens accepts 55mm screw-in filters, giving shooters straightforward access to ND, polarizing, or other filtration options.

Focus is entirely manual, consistent with professional cinema lens workflows where precise, repeatable focus pulls are handled by dedicated focus assistants or the operator directly. There is no image stabilization, which is standard practice for cinema lenses of this type. The Super 35 format coverage ensures compatibility with the most common sensor size found in professional cinema cameras today.
