Description — Venus Optics 65mm Anamorphic
The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 65mm is an anamorphic prime lens built for Super 35 format cinema and video production. Fitted with a Leica L-Mount, it integrates directly with L-Mount mirrorless camera systems without requiring an adapter. The lens features a maximum aperture of f/2.4, offering meaningful light-gathering performance for a dedicated anamorphic optic in this class.
Operationally, it is a manual focus lens with no image stabilization, positioning it firmly as a tool for deliberate, controlled production environments rather than fast-moving documentary or news work. Weighing in at just 490 grams, it is a practical choice for gimbal operators and handheld shooters who need to manage rig weight carefully. The 55mm filter thread ensures compatibility with a wide selection of screw-in filters.
As a prime lens in the telephoto range at 65mm, it is well-suited to medium-distance subject framing in narrative and short-film production contexts.
