Description — Venus Optics 80mm T2.4 Silver Flare
The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph 80mm T2.4 is a dedicated anamorphic prime lens designed for the Micro Four Thirds mount and targeted at the Cinema / Video market. Operating at a maximum aperture of T2.4, it offers a capable light intake for a specialized anamorphic optic. The focal length is fixed at 80mm, placing it firmly in the telephoto range — ideal for tighter compositions, character close-ups, and controlled narrative shots.
Focus is fully manual, which suits the precise, deliberate workflow of film and video production. The lens weighs 830g and accepts 77mm front filters, making it straightforward to pair with standard matte boxes or step-up rings for filter use. With no image stabilization onboard, users should plan for in-camera IBIS or external rigging solutions.
This is a lens built for filmmakers who want the Micro Four Thirds format lens with an anamorphic character in a telephoto prime configuration.
