Description — Venus Optics S35
The Laowa Nanomorph S35 Cinematic Anamorphic Prime 5-Lens Set by Venus Optics is engineered for Super 35 format cinema production, offering a collection of anamorphic prime lenses mounted in PL Mount. The set covers focal lengths from 27mm to 50mm, spanning standard cinematic perspectives across five discrete primes. Every lens in the set features a 77mm filter thread, streamlining on-set workflows by allowing a single set of filters to be used across all focal lengths.
The maximum aperture of f/2.4 is shared consistently across the set, providing repeatable exposure characteristics as cinematographers move between lenses during a shoot. All lenses are manual focus with no autofocus functionality, designed for use with professional lens control systems standard in cinema production. Image stabilization is not incorporated.
The total set weight is 3,085g, a figure to consider when planning camera rigs and transport cases. Suited to cinema and video camera systems, this set targets filmmakers working on S35-format productions who want a unified anamorphic prime kit in PL Mount.
