Lens Overview — Venus Optics 80mm T2.4 1.5x

The Laowa Nanomorph 80mm T2.4 is a prime anamorphic cinema lens from Venus Optics, built around a PL Mount configuration and designed for Super 35 camera systems. As a manual focus lens with no autofocus capability, it is squarely aimed at professional cinema and video productions where precise, deliberate focus pulling is standard practice. The lens sits in the telephoto focal length range at a fixed 80mm, making it well-suited for medium-to-close subject framing in narrative and documentary cinematography.

With a maximum aperture of T2.4, it offers a solid balance of light gathering and optical control for a lens in this format class. Weighing in at just 470g, the Nanomorph lives up to its compact naming, offering a notably lightweight footprint for an anamorphic PL mount prime — an advantage for rigged cinema setups where overall rig weight matters. The lens accepts 62mm front filters, giving cinematographers a straightforward path to adding filtration without step-up rings.

The Super 35 image circle coverage aligns it with a wide range of professional cinema cameras using PL Mount, making it a practical choice for productions working within that sensor format.
