Description — Venus Optics 80mm T2.4 1.5x S35 Anamorphic
The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 80mm T2.4 is a prime anamorphic lens designed for the Fujifilm X mount, built to cover a Super 35 image circle. With a fixed 80mm focal length and a maximum aperture of T2.4, this lens delivers consistent, measurable light transmission — a key advantage in video and cinema production where exposure accuracy is critical. At just 470g, it is a compact and portable option for an anamorphic prime, fitting comfortably on smaller mirrorless rigs without excessive front-end weight.
The lens is fully manual focus with no autofocus capability, reflecting its cinema and video-first orientation. A 62mm filter thread at the front accommodates a wide range of filters. With no image stabilization on board, a stable support system is recommended for smooth shooting.
The lens type is classified as anamorphic, making it a purpose-built tool for filmmakers working within the Fujifilm X ecosystem who want to shoot in the standard focal length range.
