Lens Overview — Venus Optics 65mm T2.4 1.5x

The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 65mm is a manual-focus anamorphic prime lens built specifically for Super 35 cinema and video applications. With a T2.4 maximum aperture, it offers a solid balance of light-gathering capability and compact form for a cine-format anamorphic lens. Designed around the Super 35 sensor format, it fits naturally into cinematography workflows centered on that image circle.

The lens is a prime, fixed at 65mm, placing it in telephoto territory for S35 coverage — a focal length well-suited to portrait framing, close-up work, and medium telephoto cinematic shots. Manual focus is the sole focus method, keeping the operator in full control of focus pulls, which is standard practice in professional cinema production environments. At just 390 grams, this lens is notably lightweight for an anamorphic cinema optic, making it a practical choice for handheld and gimbal-based rigs where weight management matters.

It accepts 62mm front filters, which is useful for attaching diffusion, ND, or polarizing filters. The mount listed is Lens Board (Technical Camera), so prospective buyers should verify compatibility with their specific camera and mount adapter system before purchasing.

Description — Venus Optics 65mm T2.4 1.5x

The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 65mm T2.4 is a prime anamorphic lens tailored for Super 35 cinema and video production. Operating as a manual focus only optic, it puts complete control in the hands of the operator — ideal for scripted productions using dedicated focus pullers or follow-focus systems. The T2.4 maximum aperture delivers meaningful light-gathering performance in a cinema context, supporting shooting in lower-light conditions without pushing camera ISO excessively.

Weighing just 390 grams, it sits on the lighter end of the anamorphic cinema lens spectrum, making it a practical option for gimbal-mounted and handheld camera builds where balance and fatigue are real considerations. The 62mm front filter thread provides convenient compatibility with widely available filter systems. The lens is classified under the Telephoto focal length range and is built for the Cinema / Video camera system category.

The mount is specified as Lens Board (Technical Camera), so buyers should confirm adapter requirements for their particular camera platform prior to purchase.
