Lens Overview — Venus Optics 80mm T2.4 1.5x

The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 80mm is a manual-focus anamorphic prime lens built for the cinema and video camera system, with full frame coverage and a Lens Board (Technical Camera) mount. Running at T2.4, it offers a solid maximum aperture for a dedicated anamorphic design, letting shooters work in lower-light conditions without sacrificing the distinctive anamorphic look. At 80mm on the focal length scale, it sits in standard territory, making it a natural choice for mid-range coverage in a cinematic production setup.

The lens weighs 830g, which is substantial but expected for an anamorphic optic of this caliber, and accepts 62mm front filters for additional optical control. Focus is entirely manual, placing the lens firmly in the hands-on, cinema-style operating workflow where a dedicated focus puller or careful single-operator technique is standard practice. There is no image stabilization, which again aligns with professional video setups where the camera rig itself handles steadying duties.

The Lens Board (Technical Camera) mount makes this a specialized tool suited to large-format and technical camera configurations rather than mainstream mirrorless or DSLR bodies. For shooters operating in that ecosystem, the Nanomorph 80mm delivers a purpose-built anamorphic option with full frame coverage at a workable T2.4 aperture.

Key Features — Venus Optics 80mm T2.4 1.5x

1.5x Anamorphic Squeeze: Delivers the characteristic wide-aspect cinematic image with oval bokeh and horizontal lens flares without cropping into the sensor.

T2.4 Maximum Aperture: Allows shooting in lower-light conditions while maintaining the full anamorphic look, without relying on fast spherical glass.

Full Frame Coverage: Covers a full frame sensor, maximizing the anamorphic squeeze effect across the entire image circle.

80mm Standard Focal Length: Sits in a natural mid-range perspective, well suited to portrait, dialogue, and detail shots in cinematic productions.

Manual Focus Design: Built for cinema-style operation with a smooth, dampened focus ring suited to precise focus pulls by hand or with a follow focus system.

Compact Anamorphic Build: At 830g, the Nanomorph is notably lightweight for a full frame anamorphic prime, reducing rig weight on extended shoots.

Does this lens have autofocus?+

How heavy is this lens?+
The Nanomorph 80mm weighs 830g. This is a meaningful amount of weight and users should ensure their rig, gimbal, or support system is rated to handle it comfortably alongside the camera body.
Is this lens suitable for photography or purely for video?+
The lens is categorized under the Cinema / Video camera system and uses a Lens Board (Technical Camera) mount. While the full frame coverage and 80mm focal length are usable in still contexts in theory, the mount type and cinema-oriented design make it primarily a video and cinema production tool.
