Lens Overview — Venus Optics 65mm T2.4 S35 Anamorphic

The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 65mm T2.4 is an anamorphic prime lens built for filmmakers working with Super 35 sensor cameras. Mounted in the industry-standard PL Mount, this lens slots into professional cinema workflows with minimal adaptation requirements. At a maximum aperture of T2.4, it offers a solid light-gathering capability for a lens in this format category, giving cinematographers room to work in controlled or moderately low-light environments without sacrificing the anamorphic look.

As a prime lens with a focal length of 65mm, it occupies a useful position in a standard lens kit — sitting between a traditional normal and short telephoto perspective on a Super 35 sensor. The lens is entirely manual focus, which is consistent with professional cinema practice where focus pullers operate dedicated follow focus systems. Weighing in at 490g, it is relatively compact and manageable for handheld rigs or gimbal setups.

A 62mm front filter thread gives cinematographers the option to mount filtration directly. With no image stabilization, the lens relies on the camera or rig for stability, as expected in the cinema context. Overall, this is a purpose-built anamorphic cinema prime designed for PL-mount Super 35 production environments.
