Lens Overview — Venus Optics 35mm T2.4 S35 Anamorphic RF

The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 is a fixed focal length anamorphic lens designed for Super 35 cinema and video applications. Built around a 35mm focal length and a maximum aperture of T2.4, this prime lens is geared toward videographers and cinematographers working within the Super 35 format.

The 55mm filter thread allows for the use of standard circular filters, which can be useful for exposure control and creative effects in video production. As an anamorphic type lens designed for the Super 35 image circle, it fits within a widely used acquisition format in both independent and professional film production.

The lens mount listed is Lens Board, consistent with technical camera compatibility. For shooters seeking a lightweight, manual cinema prime in the anamorphic space, the Nanomorph 35mm T2.4 S35 presents a focused and well-defined specification set worth considering.
