Lens Overview — Venus Optics 27mm Anamorphic

The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 27mm is a Super 35 anamorphic prime lens designed for cinema and video camera systems. Built around a fixed 27mm focal length, it falls into the standard focal length range and is optimized for Super 35 format sensors. The lens features a maximum aperture of f/2.8, giving cinematographers a solid foundation for controlling exposure and depth of field in a variety of shooting conditions.

At just 313g, it is notably lightweight for an anamorphic cinema lens, making it a practical choice for operators working with smaller rigs or run-and-gun setups. Focusing is entirely manual, which is standard practice in professional cinema workflows where precise, repeatable focus pulls are expected. The lens accepts 77mm front filters, a common thread size that fits well within most standard filter systems.

It mounts via a Lens Board (Technical Camera) interface, so compatibility with your specific camera body or rig should be confirmed before purchase. Image stabilization is not present on this lens. Taken together, the Nanomorph 27mm offers a purpose-built anamorphic option for Super 35 cinema work in a compact and manageable package.
