Description — Venus Optics 50mm T2.4 S35
The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 is a prime anamorphic lens designed specifically for Super 35 cinema camera systems. Fitted with a PL Mount, it integrates directly with professional cinema camera bodies without requiring adapters. The T2.4 maximum aperture provides meaningful light-gathering capability, keeping this lens usable in a range of lighting conditions on set.
At 425 grams, it stands out as an exceptionally lightweight option in the anamorphic cinema lens category, making it well-suited for gimbal rigs, handheld operating, and travel-friendly production kits. The 55mm filter thread offers straightforward compatibility with commonly available filter sizes. Operating as a manual focus lens, it follows standard cinema production workflow where focus pullers use follow-focus systems and lens distance markings.
The 50mm focal length sits firmly in the standard focal length range on a Super 35 sensor, making it a natural choice for interviews, dialogue scenes, and general narrative coverage where an anamorphic look is desired without the bulk of traditional large-format anamorphic glass.
