Lens Overview — Venus Optics S35 Anamorphic

The Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph S35 Anamorphic Lens is a manual focus prime lens designed for Super 35 cinema and video applications. Built around an anamorphic optical design, this lens is intended for cinematographers and video shooters working with S35-format camera systems. It features a maximum aperture of f/2.4, offering solid light-gathering capability for a variety of shooting scenarios.

The lens covers a focal length range categorized as Standard, with a minimum focal length of 27mm and a maximum focal length of 80mm — though as a prime lens, these likely represent the range across the set rather than a zoom range. At just 313 grams, the Nanomorph S35 is notably compact and lightweight for an anamorphic prime, making it an appealing option for operators who need to keep their rig manageable. It accepts 55mm front filters, and mounts via a Lens Board (Technical Camera) interface.

Image stabilization is not included, and autofocus is not available — this is a fully manual focus lens. With its Super 35 lens format coverage and cinema/video camera system orientation, the Nanomorph S35 is purpose-built for narrative, documentary, and commercial productions seeking the anamorphic look on S35 platforms.
