Lens Overview — Venus Optics S35

The Laowa Nanomorph S35 Cinematic Anamorphic Prime 5-Lens Set from Venus Optics is a manually focused prime lens collection designed specifically for Super 35 sensor coverage. Mounted in PL Mount, this set is built for the cinema and video camera systems, making it a natural fit for professional cinema cameras accepting PL glass. The set spans a focal length range from 27mm to 50mm, covering standard focal length territory across five individual prime lenses.

Each lens in the set shares a unified 77mm filter thread, which simplifies on-set filter management and reduces the need for step-up rings when using the same circular filters across the entire collection. The maximum aperture across the set is f/2.4, providing a consistent and reasonably fast stop for controlled exposure in cinematic environments. All lenses are manual focus only, with no autofocus capability, which aligns with standard cinema production workflows where focus pullers operate dedicated follow focus systems.

Image stabilization is not included, as expected for cinema prime glass. The total weight of the set comes in at 3,085g. With a lens type classified as anamorphic and a format designed for Super 35, this set is purpose-built for filmmakers seeking an anamorphic look on S35-format cinema cameras.

Key Features — Venus Optics S35

1.5x Anamorphic Squeeze: Each lens applies a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze, delivering widescreen cinematic imagery on Super 35 sensors without requiring a full-frame anamorphic format.

Super 35 Format Coverage: Designed specifically for S35 sensors, making the set compatible with widely used cinema cameras from ARRI, RED, and Sony.

PL Mount: Industry-standard cinema mount ensures compatibility with professional cinema camera systems from major manufacturers.

Five-Lens Prime Set: Covers focal lengths from 27mm to 50mm across five individual primes, providing a range of standard cinematic perspectives in a single matched set.

Consistent T2.4 Aperture: Uniform maximum aperture across all five lenses allows seamless switching between focal lengths without adjusting exposure settings.

Unified 77mm Filter Thread: Shared filter thread diameter across the entire set eliminates the need for step-up rings and simplifies circular filter use on set.
