Lens Overview — Venus Optics 65mm T2.4 Anamorphic

The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 65mm T2.4 is a prime anamorphic cinema lens designed for Super 35 sensor cameras. Mounted in PL, this lens targets filmmakers who want an anamorphic look in a compact, lightweight package. At just 350g, it is notably light for a cinema-grade anamorphic lens, making it a practical choice for handheld rigs, gimbals, and run-and-gun production setups where weight is a genuine concern.

The T2.4 maximum aperture provides a solid balance between light-gathering capability and overall lens size, giving cinematographers flexibility when working in lower-light environments without resorting to an unwieldy front element. The 65mm focal length places it in the standard range, making it well suited to a wide variety of shots including close-up character work and medium coverage. The lens is fully manual focus, which is standard practice in high-end cinema production and gives the focus puller precise, repeatable control.

A 62mm filter thread allows for the use of common filter sizes, including diffusion, ND, and polarizing filters. With no image stabilization, this lens is intended to be used on stabilized platforms or with the camera's own stabilization system.

Description — Venus Optics 65mm T2.4 Anamorphic

The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 65mm T2.4 is a prime anamorphic cinema lens built for Super 35 cameras using the industry-standard PL Mount. With a maximum aperture of T2.4, it delivers solid low-light performance in a compact form factor. Weighing just 350g, it is exceptionally portable for a cinema anamorphic lens, making it a strong candidate for gimbal, shoulder rig, and handheld setups where every gram counts.

The 62mm filter thread keeps filter options accessible, and the fully manual focus operation aligns with professional cinema production standards, giving focus pullers repeatable, tactile control over critical focus. As a prime lens in the standard focal length range, the 65mm framing is highly versatile for narrative, documentary, and commercial work on Super 35 sensor platforms. The lens carries no image stabilization, so stable imagery depends on the camera platform or external stabilization hardware.
