Description — Venus Optics 65mm 1.5x S35 Anamorphic
The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 65mm is a prime anamorphic lens designed specifically for the Super 35 cinema and video format. With a fixed 65mm focal length, it occupies the standard focal length range, making it a strong candidate for a wide variety of cinematic applications. The lens opens to a maximum aperture of f/2.4, providing solid light transmission in controlled and low-light shooting environments.
Focus is entirely manual, placing full creative control in the hands of the operator or focus puller. The lens mounts via a Lens Board (Technical Camera) system, so compatibility should be confirmed for your specific rig. A 62mm filter thread makes it straightforward to attach standard filtration.
At 830g, the Nanomorph 65mm is a substantial but manageable prime for supported cinema setups. Image stabilization is not included, consistent with its design intent for rigged shooting environments.
