Lens Overview — Laowa 35mm 1.5x S35

The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 35mm Anamorphic Lens in DL Mount is a manual-focus prime designed for Super 35 cinema and video camera systems. Built around a 35mm focal length, it delivers the compact form factor of the Nanomorph line while bringing anamorphic character to DJI DL mount shooters. With a maximum aperture of T2.4, this lens offers a solid light-gathering capability for run-and-gun and controlled cinema productions alike.

The Super 35 image circle coverage makes it a natural fit for cameras using that format, and the lens type is explicitly anamorphic, meaning it is designed to introduce the cinematic rendering associated with that format. Weighing just 390g, the Nanomorph 35mm is notably lightweight for a cinema anamorphic lens, reducing strain on gimbals, drones, and handheld rigs. It accepts 67mm screw-in filters, a useful feature for cinematographers who work with NDs or diffusion filters.

Image stabilization is not present on this lens, so stabilization must come from the camera body or external rig. All focusing is performed manually, which is standard practice in the cinema world and gives operators precise pull focus control. The DJI DL mount designation means it is purpose-built for compatible DJI cinema camera systems.
