Lens Overview — Venus Optics 35mm Anamorphic

The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 35mm is a manual-focus anamorphic prime lens designed specifically for Super 35 cinema and video camera systems. With a maximum aperture of f/2.4, this prime offers a useful combination of light-gathering capability and compact form for run-and-gun or narrative production work. The lens mounts via a Lens Board (Technical Camera) system, placing it firmly in the cinema and technical camera ecosystem.

At just 320g, it is notably lightweight for an anamorphic lens, making it a practical choice for operators who need to keep their rigs manageable without sacrificing the distinctive anamorphic look. The 35mm focal length falls in the standard range, making it a versatile choice for a wide variety of shooting scenarios on Super 35 format cameras. A 77mm filter thread provides compatibility with standard cinema and photo filter systems.

Image stabilization is not present in this lens, which is typical for a manual-focus cinema prime. The focus is entirely manual, consistent with the demands of professional cinema production where precise, repeatable focus pulls are the norm. This lens is purpose-built for the Super 35 format, ensuring coverage is optimized for that sensor size.
