Lens Overview — Venus Optics 65mm 1.5x S35

The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 65mm T2.4 is a manual-focus prime lens built for the cinema and video world, designed specifically around the Super 35 sensor format. Mounted on the industry-standard PL Mount, this lens slots naturally into professional cinema camera setups and rental-house workflows without requiring adapters. It sits in the anamorphic lens category, bringing the signature widescreen aesthetic that cinematographers pursue — wide-aspect imagery, horizontal lens character, and the visual language of film — to a compact and relatively accessible package.

The T2.4 maximum aperture gives shooters a solid light-gathering capability in low-light environments while retaining creative depth-of-field control. At 65mm, this is a standard-range focal length on Super 35, making it a versatile choice for interviews, dramatic close-ups, and mid-range coverage where you want a natural, undistorted rendering with anamorphic characteristics. The lens is purely manual focus, which aligns with professional cinema practice where focus pullers work with dedicated follow-focus systems.

A 62mm front filter thread allows for use of standard round filters. There is no image stabilization, consistent with the expectation that cinema rigs handle stabilization externally through gimbals, rigs, or steadicam systems.

This lens uses a PL Mount, the standard cinema lens mount found on professional cinema cameras. It is not designed for DSLR or mirrorless mounts without a separate adapter.
What sensor size does this lens cover?+
The Laowa Nanomorph 65mm T2.4 is designed for Super 35 sensors, one of the most common sensor formats in professional cinema production. It is not rated for larger sensor formats based on available specifications.
Does this lens have autofocus?+

What is the maximum aperture of this lens?+
The maximum aperture is T2.4, measured in T-stops as is standard for cinema lenses. T-stops account for light transmission through the glass, making exposure more predictable across different lenses on a shoot.
